As we step into Lent, many of us carry the quiet weight of expectations — spiritual goals, personal commitments, responsibilities that don’t pause just because the season has begun. Lent often invites reflection, but it can also reveal how tired we truly are.
Yet Psalm 92:10 gives us a promise that meets us right where we are:
God never asks you to walk into a new season with yesterday’s strength. He offers fresh oil — a fresh anointing, fresh wisdom, fresh empowerment for today.
In Scripture, oil represents the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. It’s not something we strive for or earn. It’s something God pours out.
And that changes everything.
Because Lent is not a season of spiritual performance.
It’s a season of spiritual renewal.
It’s not about proving your devotion.
It’s about receiving His grace.
It's not about sacrificing something in our life.
It's about adding Jesus to our life.
Whatever is your objective this lent - remember this:
God has fresh oil for you.
So as this season begins, pause and ask Him:
“Lord, anoint me with fresh oil.
Not just to get through the day,
but to walk in my calling with joy and excellence.”
His anointing renews what feels worn, restores what feels broken, and equips you for what He has prepared.
This Lent, may you experience not the pressure to do more —
but the invitation to receive more.
More grace.
More strength.
More presence.
More of Him.
