2022 Lenten Guided Prayer Experience: Seeking God's Ways

What is Lenten Guided Prayer (LGP)?

• LGP is a contemplative prayer resource, for individuals, small groups and congregations, that provides weekly prayer sheets, an invitation to share with others (in person or online), and opening and closing liturgies for the Lenten Season.
• LGP is rooted in lectionary scripture texts and complements the worship resources in Leader Magazine.

Theme:

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the LORD.” This text from Isaiah 55:8 informs the theme, Seeking God’s Ways, for this year’s Lenten Guided Prayer resources. As so many of the Scriptures for this season remind us, God’s ways are often different and even surprising compared to our expectations and assumptions about God. During the season of Lent we are called to let go of our ways and return to God’s ways, as revealed in Jesus.

A great resource for these times!

Prayer sheets are easily distributed by email to whole congregations on a weekly basis for individual use. (They are also available in a booklet format, together as one unit.) When people are unable to meet together in person, small groups work well on platforms like Zoom. Elements of the prayer sheets may be incorporated into worship, or a retreat. We encourage you to use the LGP resources in whatever way works best for your context!
