journey to the Cross

2025 Lent Devotionals

The Boards of Laity of the North and South Georgia Conferences of The United Methodist Church invite you to join in a daily devotional this Lenten season. They have invited United Methodist clergy and laity from across Georgia to contribute. This laity-led initiative encourages reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal by slowing down and connecting with God’s Word. This season helps us to remember Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross and reflect on how His teachings guide us toward holiness. May these next 40 days bring deep transformation to our hearts!

    Friday, March 14


    Rev. Minho Chung offers a powerful reminder that Lent is an invitation to slow down and make space for God amid life’s busyness.

Through the simple yet profound practice of breath prayer, he provides a tangible way to center ourselves in God’s presence. His devotional encourages us not just to adopt this discipline for Lent but to carry it into every season of life, creating room for God’s voice, healing, and guidance. Will we pause long enough to listen?
