Ep289 Pt1 – Lent: What Are Your Priorities?

What priorities do you have in life? We all have priorities even if we haven’t specifically written them down. This week Emma and Rosemary chat about whether God, prayer and faith are priorities in our lives. Our lives are so busy and it can be hard to fit God in sometimes. This Lenten season is a great time to re-assess what we really value. 

Do you prioritise your faith? Do you struggle to fit prayer into your life? Lent is a wonderful time to look at how we prioritise our relationship with God. In this Heartbeat Emma helps us to reflect on where our faith sits on our priority list. 

How do you treat others? We are asked to live our neighbour as ourselves but sometimes our actions and behaviours don’t live up to that. This week Emma and Rosemary chat about allowing the Holy Spirit to show us the areas of our lives where we need to change our actions and behaviours. 

The phrase ‘Actions speak louder than words’ says a lot about our integrity and character. This week’s Lent focus is on our actions and behaviour. In this Heartbeat Emma asks us to reflect on how we treat others.

Our thoughts are an area of our lives where no one knows except us. God of course knows! Are you thinking thoughts that are honorable and lovely? This week Emma and Rosemary chat about the power of our thoughts and how they can affect our attitude, our behaviour and even our physical body. Let’s allow our thoughts to be life giving! 

Our thoughts are powerful. They can affect our mood, our behaviour and even our physical selves. In this Heartbeat Emma teaches us how God wants us to think. During Lent this week take some time reflect on how you think. 

How often has your speech get you into trouble? As we launch into Lent Emma and Rosemary chat about our speech. Does our speech reflect the kind of person that God wants us to be? Or does our speech let us down? The words that we use say something about our hearts. What does your speech say about your heart? 

This week our focus is on the area of speech. How do you speak? Do you gossip or criticize? In this Heartbeat Rosemary encourages us to think about our speech and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in the ways that you may need to change. 

Lent is an opportunity to prepare the way for God to come into our lives in a new way this Easter. Emma and Rosemary chat about an everyday approach to Lent where we make small daily changes little by little.

Lent is a time to prepare our hearts for Easter. It’s an opportunity to recognise those areas of our lives where we fall short and don’t live up to who God wants us to be. It’s an opportunity to change direction, to re-commit and to go deeper with God. In this Heartbeat Rosemary encourages us to prepare the way for the Lord to live in our hearts.
