Lent Week 6: From Surrender to Resurrection

As Lent draws to a close, I pause to reflect on the journey these past weeks have taken me on. I began by examining my choices, releasing distractions, and creating space for God to work in my life. Along the way, I learned to replace old habits with life-giving ones and to offer my words, actions, and gifts for His purpose.

Now, in these final days, I look back with gratitude for what God has been quietly shaping within me. Lent reminds me that surrender is never wasted—God uses every small act of trust to transform our hearts and prepare us for the hope of resurrection.

Day 36:Reflection: God uses every surrender for His glory.

Question: What have I surrendered this Lent?

Action: Thank God for one thing you’ve surrendered.

Day 37:Reflection: Being filled with God allows us to overflow to others.

Question: How can I share God’s love today?

Action: Encourage or help someone unexpectedly.

Day 38: Reflection: God’s work in us is ongoing and faithful.

Question: Where do I need to trust God’s ongoing work?

Action: Reflect and surrender any lingering doubts.

Day 39: Reflection: Our choices can prepare our hearts for resurrection joy.

Question: What choice today aligns my heart with God?

Action: Do one act that symbolizes hope and renewal.

Day 40: Palm Sunday - Reflection: God uses us through obedience for a greater good.

Question: How can I honor Jesus's obedience to the Father's will with my own?

Action: Spend time in quite meditation, releasing your own desires and offering yourself to His divine will.

As Easter approaches, I don’t want to rush past what God has done in these forty days. I want to remember what I’ve surrendered, what I’ve learned, and how He has been working in ways I may not have noticed at first. The same God who began this work in me will continue it long after Lent ends. So, I step into the joy of the upcoming Holy week with gratitude, trusting that every choice to follow Him leads to new life.

For the One,
