Lent 2 : Soul Shelter

Soul Shelter: Finding Deeper Nourishment During Lent

As we journey through Lent 2025, [Church Name] invites you to reflect on the many forms of nourishment God provides beyond just food. This season is an opportunity to delve deeper into our faith and discover what truly feeds our hearts, minds, and spirits.

Focus
This week, our focus is on “Soul Shelter.” Drawing inspiration from Psalm 27 and Luke 13:31-35, we are reminded of the importance of seeking God’s protection and guidance in our lives. Our opening liturgy encapsulates this beautifully:

Give us this day our daily bread to shelter our soul. As bricks and mortar give our bodies shelter, shelter our being, our souls, with your spirit. Give us this day our daily bread to shelter our soul. As houses protect and keep safe our physical being, hold us in the shelter and safety of your Word. Give us this day our daily bread to shelter our soul. As an umbrella holds back the rain and the storms, so Lord be our umbrella, our tent, our shelter in life’s uncertain times. O Lord our God, on this Lenten journey, shelter us in the struggling world’s uncertainties. Amen.

Reflection Questions
1. How does Jesus’ direct address to Jerusalem encourage us to consider the spiritual and social health of our own cities and communities?
2. What kind of gathering or restoration might God long for in your context?

Message
We are reminded that God desires a safe home for everyone. As Christians, we are called to advocate for justice and peace, ensuring that all people can find security and shelter. Through our actions, we can help create a world where everyone feels safe and loved. May the God who faced the wilderness feed your soul today. Amen.
