“Be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20) **Meditation** Reconciliation begins as an inward turning before it becomes an outward act. God’s longing is always restoration, never distance.

Each step toward healing, however small, opens the door to renewed joy and freedom.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God.” (Psalm 51:10) **Meditation** A clean heart is not one without scars, but one open to healing. God’s mercy reaches places we hide even from ourselves. Today, offer what feels cluttered or tired within you. Lent gives us permission to let God tend the inner life gently, patiently, and without judgment. Renewal happens quietly when we trust God enough to let love do its slow, faithful work.
