Thursday of the First Week in Lent Matthew 7:7-12 A Journey of Prayer and Transformation
Lent is a sacred season during which we are invited to deepen our relationship with God and seek a genuine change of heart. Today’s Gospel teaches us to ask, seek, and knock to discern God’s will in our lives.
Asking in Prayer is our lifeline to God, an unceasing dialogue that acknowledges our dependence on Him. Through prayer of petition, we present our needs and desires before the Lord, trusting in His divine providence. Let us approach Him with sincerity for the grace to grow in holiness.
True change begins with self-awareness. Our weaknesses can either defeat us or become a path to strength when we surrender to God’s mercy. The Gospel calls us to reject sin and embrace the light of Christ.
Just as a well-cooked meal takes time, authentic change requires patience and perseverance in taking concrete steps toward holiness, trusting that God’s grace will sustain us. Difficulties arise, but every struggle is an opportunity for growth. At first, we may stumble, blaming others or ignoring our faults. Over time, with God’s grace, we recognise our responsibility, resist temptation, and eventually choose a new path altogether. Every fall can lead to a greater resurrection if we allow God to work within us.
Our Christian life calls us to integrity, prudence, resistance to complacency, and striving to live with purpose, always seeking ways to serve and love others. Lent is a reminder that we have much to offer. By embracing prayer, transformation, and virtue, we journey toward Easter with renewed hearts, ready to receive the joy of the Resurrection.
