40 Holy People: A Lent Devotional for Families

This Lent Devotional for Families  is centered around holy people… people that used their lives for others, people that inspire us to be more. Since there are 40 days in Lent (not counting Sundays), we’re looking at 40 Holy People. Some are Saints, some are missionaries, some are evangelists– all are examples of what we can do in Christ. I’m praying that the lives of these 40 individuals inspire my children (and honestly, myself) to get out of our comfort zones and do something for God, to deepen our faith, and to press us toward holiness.

Setting Aside Time

This devotional does take daily time, but it doesn’t take much time each day. Set aside a time when you are all together. You can do this in the evening after dinner. Or perhaps you can do it over breakfast to start the day off on the right foot. Meal times are great times for family devotions since everyone is seated together already. Carve out time for 40 days to lead your family well.

How To Do This Family Devotional

Each day during Lent (excluding Sunday), gather the whole family to read that day’s reading. These reading may have questions, which will lead to deeper discussions. Some have links to coloring pages if you want to print those and extend the discussion.

None of these contain Scripture. I’d highly recommend reading through one of the Gospels (take your pick) along with this family devotional. I’d recommend reading from the Gospel, reading the devotional reading, discussing, and then praying.

Let your kids be as involved as they are able. Let them read Scripture (even if it just one verse). Let them pray. The more interaction you have, the deeper the truth will sink into hearts and the stronger the bonds between you will be.
