It’s the First Sunday of Lent, not Ash Wednesday, and it’s a late Lent to boot.
Well…oh well. I have zero actual excuses
Here are some ideas for you–ways for you to enter the season. I’ve broken them apart into the typical “themes,” if you will: praying, fasting, and giving alms. Here’s to where God is inviting you this season! PLUS, I’ve written 40 prayer prompts, one for each day of Lent! BONUS CONTENT Y’ALL.
Lent, here we come!
“Yet even now,” says Yahweh, “turn to me with all your heart,
and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”
Tear your heart, and not your garments,
and turn to Yahweh, your God;
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness,
and relents from sending calamity.
-Joel 2:12-13
