SECOND FULL WEEK OF LENT 2025: HOPE & TRUST
SECOND WEEK OF LENT: HOPE & TRUST
This calendar guides you through the 40 days of Lent (not counting Sundays) plus Easter Week. Each day offers scripture, reflection, and a simple practice to deepen your faith and prepare your heart for the joy of Easter. The practices are designed for real life — accessible regardless of your circumstances or where you are in your Christian journey. May this season bring you closer to Christ and the renewal He offers.
This week we focus on hope and trust. When life feels uncertain or overwhelming, hope anchors us to God’s promises and trust allows us to move forward in faith. As we reflect on Biblical examples of those who hoped against hope and trusted God’s guidance, we’re invited to discover where in our own lives we might practice this same confident faith.
2nd Sunday
Like Abraham, we are called to trust God’s promises even when the path forward isn’t clear.
Today’s Practice
Consider an area of uncertainty in your life. How might God be asking you to trust Him with this situation?
Ruth’s faithful commitment reminds us that hope often means taking one step at a time alongside those we love.
Today’s Practice
Reach out to someone who has walked alongside you in difficult times. If possible, thank them; if not, say a prayer of gratitude for them.
Even in desolate places, God promises renewal and restoration beyond what we can imagine.
Today’s Practice
Look for one sign of hope or beauty today, no matter how small—a kind word, a patch of sky, a moment of peace.
Jesus reminds us that God provides for our needs, even amid our anxieties about tomorrow.
Today’s Practice
When worry arises today, pause and repeat: “God cares for me even more than the flowers and birds.”
Abraham’s faith teaches us that true hope often persists even when circumstances suggest otherwise.
Today’s Practice
Identify something that seems hopeless in your life or in the world. Offer a prayer of hope, trusting that God can work beyond what seems possible.
Christian hope isn’t wishful thinking—it’s a secure anchor for our lives, holding us steady through life’s storms.
Today’s Practice
Visualize your hope in Christ as an anchor holding you secure. When you feel anxious today, return to this image.
In a noisy world of competing voices, waiting silently for God helps us find our true foundation.
Today’s Practice
Spend 2-3 minutes in silence, simply resting in God’s presence. If your mind wanders, gently return to the awareness that God is your rock.
