Scripture for the Second Wednesday in Lent
The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. ~ Luke 11:32
Almighty God, the men of Nineveh repented when they heard Jonah's preaching. How much more powerful, O Lord, is the testimony of Jesus Christ. I repent of all my sins and beg Your forgiveness. In Jesus' name. Amen.

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ~ Matthew 6:14-15 (ESV)
Lord, sometimes it's hard to forgive those who have hurt me, yet I want and need Your forgiveness. Your Word tells me that you won't forgive me if I don't forgive others. Help me, Lord, to forgive. In name of the Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Suffering with PTSD or Know Someone Who Is?
I recently talked about a book about PTSD in veterans. I'm working with psychiatrist Dr. Harry Croft—you can see him on this video of a television interview in which he talks about PTSD and the book project.

Scripture for the First Sunday in Lent
And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread." And Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.'" ~ Luke 4:1-4 (ESV)
Lord God, just as Jesus resisted the devil with the words "it is written," help me...

Exciting News: Always Keepers Press
After I had a stroke several years ago, I couldn't read for several months. Having been an avid reader all my life, I was devastated until I discovered audio books. Although I didn't expect to enjoy hearing a book as much as I enjoyed reading a book, I did.
Now, I'm very excited about a new audio publishing company—Always Keepers Press, founded by author Donna Wright. The company opens today with the launch of its first book, Between a Clutch and a Hard Place by Gayle Trent.

Scripture for the First Saturday in Lent
And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?" And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." ~ Luke 5:30-32 (ESV)
Lord, I am a sinner in need of a physician. I repent of my sins. Forgive me and heal me. In Jesus' name. Amen.

And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. ~ Matthew 9:15 (ESV)
Lord God, Jesus sacrificed His life for me and my sins, yet I seldom sacrifice to show my love and devotion to You. I need the help of the Holy Spirit to take the time and effort to fast and pray and worship—to focus on You instead of on myself. In Jesus' name. Amen.
