February 19 - Thursday

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your time, then read the following Scriptures.

• Scripture: Luke 11:1-13

Reflect on the devotional, and answer the questions to dive in deeper!

• Devotional: Today we come back to the Lord’s Prayer, but from a slightly different angle. Jesus teaches His disciples this prayer not as a tool for getting their way, but as a method of learning dependence on their gracious Father. Lent trains our hearts to ask boldly because we know God is both sovereign and good. He gives us what we need—not reluctantly, but according to His wise will. Even when we do not receive the answer we want, we can trust that the Father gives us what is best, especially the gift of His Spirit. This passage equips us to pray with confidence, patience, and humble trust as we wait for God’s faithful provision!

• Discussion Questions:
  

1. What stood out to you in today’s passage?
2. What questions do you still have?
3. What is God asking you to do in response?

End your time with prayer, and ask the Lord to help you apply what you have learned today.
