Please find attached the Thoughts & Prayers for after half term (Monday 23rd – 27th February).
This week is our first week of Lent with the theme “Wilderness” and the scripture is taken from (Matthew 4:1) “Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.”
Jesus didn’t go into the wilderness because He was lost. He was led there, guided by the Spirit. We all experience ‘wilderness moments’ — times when life feels uncertain, overwhelming, or stretching and during Lent, we are invited to pause, reflect, and walk forward with honesty and courage.
The wilderness can be interpreted to be a place of challenge, quiet, honesty, and growth. For our teenagers it is important to highlight the fact that Jesus didn’t leave the wilderness defeated, in fact he left empowered. As such leading them to the realisation that their experiences has the ability to empower them.
‘Digital unplug’ this week invites students to reflect on what they have learned about themselves through their own struggles? How can they use that strength to help others?
