March 8: Lent Day 15 & 16

Day 15 (from yesterday)
For the Sake of Your Name

Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me, O Lord, the God of truth.

Psalm 31:3&5

Day 16

Blessed is the man Who Trust in the Lord

Cursed is the one who trusts in man, 

who depends on flesh for his strength and 

whose heart turns away from the Lord. 

He will be like a bush in the wastelands;

 he will not see prosperity when it comes.

 He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,

 in a salt land where no one lives. 

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, 

whose confidence is in him. 

He will be like a tree planted by the water 

that sends out its roots by the stream. 

It does not fear when heat comes;

 its leaves are always green. 

It has no worries in a year of drought 

and never fails to bear fruit.

Jeremiah 17: 5-8
