Lent- It’s Not Just About Fasting
Fast
When we fill our lives with obligations, relationships, or ways of thinking that distract us from focusing on Jesus, we are less able to experience life to its fullest. The Lent season challenges you to create space in your life for the full life Jesus came to give us.
Pray
I challenge you to make time in your day to read and pray the Lord’s Prayer then pray your own prayer.
Give
When we give of ourselves using the gifts God has given us to serve others, we are able to uniquely worship God. This season challenges you to explore your gifts and talents and then creatively use those to serve those around you.
Thank
Thankfulness is more than an expression; it is an attitude of life. When we are thankful we are better able to experience blessings in our lives. Thank someone in your life who has expressed God’s goodness to you.
Serve
God values everyone equally and immensely. When we express this to each other we are experiencing life with more love. Think critically about how your actions value others.
Reflect
Living a full life requires change. Reflect on what you have learned, and how to recommit yourself to these actions, even after this journey is over.
XOXO,
