Day 1: Wed 25th Ash Wednesday
God put on my heart today to pray specifically for the catering of a funeral for bushfire victims on Saturday. And HE asks me to not only pray, but to do something about it.

Day 2: Thursdasy 26th
God showed me areas it's not easy for me to trust Jesus wholeheartedly. I spent some time repenting and had the assurance that I can trust Jesus in all areas of my life - spiriually, physically, emotionally, financially, family and marriage preparation etc. Praise God!

I read on Day 3 about how much God the Father loved Jesus and how we can share in that love too. Amazing love! It struck me quite powerfully - His generosity, His yearning to have us in friendship with Him - the Creator of all things! (John 17:20-24)
Yes Rosemary, amen to that!!
It's so awesome we can share and experience the amazing love of God.
It also struck me in Day 3 about the importance of abiding in Jesus always - as really apart from Him we can do nothing.
Day 4: Saturday 28th
Today I had a day of rest, solitude and prayer, and it was such a blessing to be able to declare God's Word in prayer and to affirm His wonderful attributes, especially Jesus' authority (Matt 28:18).
I was impressed by God to spend more time alone with Him this morning. Strength and joy come from such times that will add much to our friendship with Him, and much to our work.
I am so thankful that Jesus came to draw us close to God, and it is so sweet to feel and sense His heart as we draw near to Him in love.
Today I declare by faith Jesus is the Lord and King of the city!
