‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.’
John 7:37–38

Be refreshed by Jesus this Lent

The Bible is filled with images of water – water that refreshes us, cleanses us, and brings justice, forgiveness, and the promise of new life in Jesus.

This Lent, we invite you to discover Living Water: a seven-week Lent devotional designed to help you draw closer to Jesus, the giver of life.

In a season that invites us to pause, reflect and return to God, these weekly devotionals offer space to rest in his presence, hear his voice and be renewed by the living water he freely gives us.

Each weekly email includes:

  • A reflection on a Bible passage exploring the theme of water.
  • Inspiring stories from Tearfund’s work around the world, where God is bringing new life and hope to communities facing extreme poverty.
  • Prayer points to help you pray for God’s renewal in your life and around the world.

Starting on 22 February, you’ll receive an email every Sunday during Lent. We'll also send you a link to be able to download a PDF version in February.

We hope you’ll join us as we follow Jesus’ invitation to come to him, drink, and find refreshment for our souls.
