Read:  Genesis 2:7

Lent begins by taking us back to the very first touch of God upon creation. Before we ever stumbled, before sin ever scarred the world, God shaped humanity from the earth with deliberate care. Dust became something sacred when God breathed His life into it. This season invites us to remember that our identity is rooted not in our failures or our fears, but in the hands that formed us.

When life feels scattered or fragile, Lent calls us to remember that God has always worked wonders with dust. What He shapes, He cherishes. What He breathes into, He sustains.

Reflection Question:  
Where do you need to remember that your life began in God’s hands and still rests there?

Prayer:  
Creator God, You formed us from the dust and breathed Your life into us. As we begin this season, remind us of our sacred beginning. Restore our sense of belonging and renew our trust in Your care. Amen.
