We are living in turbulent and challenging times. We may be feeling overwhelmed by our news feeds, and anxious about the future. How can Lent be a time in which we learn to quiet our hearts and deepen our faith in the God who holds us? How can the figure of Jesus in the wilderness offer us courage and hope?

Lutherans Connect invites you to join us for forty days of devotions featuring scripture, music, images, poetry, and reflective notes that tie it together. This year’s Lenten series is inspired by the hymn, “Let Streams of Living Justice.” The lyrics describe all the broken places in life and Creation into which we long for the living water of Jesus to flow. From the Arctic to Antarctica, we will travel down the water bodies of Canada and beyond, to discover how people are living with the land instead of on it. How can we be inspired by the courage and resistance of others? How have people adapted to their challenges in ways that offer promise for the future?

Join us, as we walk together with Jesus into the wilderness of our own anxious hearts. And may the love of God fill our souls with encouragement and hope!

These devotions can be accessed from the Lutherans Connect Facebook page or its blog.  “Let Streams of Living Justice” is hymn number 710 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.  You can hear it sung along with the words at this YouTube link.
