Devotion for the First Sunday in Lent

Black woman on knees praying

I will tell of Your name to my brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
You who fear the Lord, praise Him;
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel. ~ Psalm 22:22-23 (NASB)

Sundays in Lent are not counted as part of the forty days of penitence. Sundays celebrate the Resurrection so are always a feast day. Let us celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection in the midst of our Lenten penitence. Let us tell others about our Lord and praise His name.

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who loves me so much I can’t begin to comprehend it, today I just praise Your Name. I worship You for Your majesty, glory, omnipotence, omniscience, power, grace, mercy, and love. In the name of Your Son, filled with the same majesty, glory, omnipotence, omniscience, power, grace, mercy, and love. Amen.
