RETURN to the FATHER Lenten Study 2026 A5 Size

Wednesday Reflection Like Martha, we often carry anxious burdens. Jesus invites us to choose the “better part” presence over pressure. Thursday Reflection True rest is found when we entrust our hearts to God, not when circumstances change.

Friday Imaginative Prayer — Choosing the Better Part Scripture: Matthew 6:25-34 Prepare Jesus, draw me close.

Picture Place yourself in the home at Bethany. Notice Mary, Martha, and Jesus.

Participate Where do you see yourself in this scene? Hear Jesus speak gently to you.

Ponder What would choosing the better part look like today?

Saturday Weekly Reflection Where did I notice God’s presence this week? Group Discussion Guide What burdens do we often carry silently? Can you name your spiritual poverty? How can Jesus bring light and grace into that place? What worries (sin, future, loss) are you trying to control rather than cast on God? Journaling Prompt What have I been afraid or ashamed to say out loud to God? What truth is God gently inviting me to name in His presence? Lord, I place my burdens at Your feet, bring me the light. Teach me to trust You. 14
