As you begin praying over what you are going to give up, pray with, or do during these 40 days, we wanted to remind you:
Lent is about faithfulness, not perfection
If you're feeling overwhelmed by Lent this year, here are 4 things to keep in mind:
Small sacrifices go a long way // The Lord just wants YOU. Any small step you take towards Him is beautiful.
The Lord speaks in the silence // Try to make space for more stillness in your schedule so He can speak to your heart.
It’s okay to start again // If you miss a day of fasting or fail to hold up the prayer routine you planned, just start again the next day!
You are never alone // We don’t need to walk through the desert on our own. Find others to hold you accountable when the season feels challenging.
Take a deep breath — It's all about the pursuit of God's heart, little by little and step by step.
