As we explore how to observe Lent, weโve decided to get creative with devotional songsโbecause who doesnโt like to connect with God through music? Spruce up your Lent journey by tuning into the audience song recommendation below and then listen along to some good Christian music!
Journey Through Lent, Day 23
We might be used to asking forgiveness from God for specific ways we mess upโmistakes, poor choices, or losing our temper. But we need forgiveness just as much for the more subtle ways we depart from Godโs best. We need forgiveness for things we may not even recognize as faultsโnot loving those around us, getting โtoo busyโ to spend time with God, and all the other excuses we make that lead us away from Godโs path for us.ย
In his song, โNot Too Far,โ GAWVI talks about this tendency we have to run what feels like a million miles from God’s path for us. We love his raw honest admission of his failure, and the corresponding picture of hope he paints for those who do run back to God.

Scripture
โFor I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no moreโ (Hebrews 8:12).ย
Reflect
During a time when youโve strayed from God, whatโs a way you โfell asleepโ to the good news of the gospel (in other words, what good thing about the gospel did you struggle to believe for a time)? If youโre still struggling to believe it, admit it to God and ask for his help. Or, simply praise God a little extra right now for one specific way you DO believe the gospel is good news for your life!
