Lenten Prayers and Reflections - Week 4
This Lent, we invite you to join us in weekly reflection for hungry children around the world.
In these challenging times we believe that coming together virtually in this way will draw us closer as a community and connect us more deeply with the children and communities we serve.
Please spread the word by sharing our Lenten reflections with your friends, family and church community.
We are honored and humbled to walk the 40 days of Lent with you.
Looking for more ways to live your faith this Lent? Take some inspiration from our 40 Little Acts of Lenten Love.
Week 4 Reflection
Perseverance is…
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
This week, we pray for the dedicated local volunteers who make our work possible. They are strong, empowered, passionate and perseverant.
These incredible men and women walk for miles carrying heavy pails of water and sacks of food. They wake before dawn to stir giant pots of porridge or serve up thousands of plates of rice and beans.
For many, this sacrifice comes at the start of a long and tiring day spent digging fields or tending market stalls. But it is a sacrifice they are happy to make because they believe so passionately that the children in their community should have a daily meal in their place of education.
Together, let us walk humbly alongside the people who make these journeys on behalf of their children by joining one another in prayer.
