As we continue on our journey through the Lenten wilderness, follow Jesus as he lives his 40 days in the desert.
Be open to what emotions today’s illustration invokes for you, what details catch your eye, and consider why you might be affected by it in this way.
Then, to go deeper, if it’s helpful, contemplate each of the following questions, allowing time to fully answer each one:
The vultures are circling. Do you ever feel like there are those who are just circling, ready to pounce if you make a mistake? Do you have those who like to point out your failures? Does it make you appreciate your more supportive circle that much more? Or are you feeling like you’re going in circles yourself on this journey? Is God encircling you in a good way on the journey? What circles of support are helping you to Never Give Up? Let go of those who are circling today, naming and giving thanks for those in your circle of support.
