How do you feel after you’ve accomplished a tedious task, like dusting or cleaning your bathroom? Doesn’t it feel good?! The season of Lent provides us with time to clean out our hearts and souls. We can dust away our negative thoughts and clean away our bad habits. As we repent from our sins and reform our lives to more fully embrace the Gospel, we open ourselves to true joy in Christ Jesus. This season, encourage one another to “clean up” and make room for Christ’s joy inyour hearts.
Faith Chat Question: What is one thing in your life that you would like to re-form? From what do you need to repent so that you can more fully embrace the Gospel?
Faith Response: As you embrace the desert of Lent, create a prayer space in your home with a simple cross, a Bible, and perhaps a bowl of pebbles or sand. Each day throughout Lent, gather in your prayer space to pray for and encourage one another in your Lenten journey.
Pray: Lord Jesus, we long to join you in the desert this season of Lent. Help us to repent from our sins and open our hearts more fully to the joy of your Gospel. Amen.
