Introducing our 2026 Lenten devotion ✝️

Dear friends, As we prepare to enter Lent, many of us are carrying uncertainty, exhaustion, or concern for a world that feels increasingly fractured. This year, the Presbyterian Outlook is offering a new Lenten devotional — Discipleship in a Divided Age. Written by Outlook Publisher/Editor Teri McDowell Ott, this daily devotional helps to anchor us in Scripture and guide our spiritual practices during this sacred season. This devotional follows the Gospel of Matthew and speaks directly into our moment. Through daily reflections, thoughtful questions and weekly visio divina practices, this resource invites us to live faithfully amid division and uncertainty. Whether you read it on your own, bring it to your session or small group, or share it with your entire congregation, this devotional offers: Six daily readings each week grounded in Scripture Reflection questions to help integrate faith into everyday life Closing prayers shaped for personal or communal use Weekly visio divina A pastoral voice that meets readers with honesty, clarity and hope Begin your Lenten journey with us What do you get with your order?
