DID YOU KNOW…

Today is the start of what many refer to as the Lent(en) season. Lent—approximately 6 weeks prior to Easter—is kicked off by “Ash Wednesday” and is used by many as a preparation period leading up to Easter. Some people fast—going without food, junk food, media, etc. Some people pray—at specific times each day. Others participate in disciplines or behaviors that serve them.

But the point is simple: prepare your heart for a very special time of the year—Easter.

So I want to invite you to ask yourself, what can I do differently in the next six weeks? Is there some basic sacrifice you can make… or step you can take…? Is there something new you want to try? Or something old you want to go without?

Who knows how God might use this commitment. But you can know this: He’ll do something. And I’ll be praying for you. (For daily expressions and prayers for Lent, you can download our Lent Journey card here.)

I’m also really excited about THIS Sunday. If you have ever had questions about PRAYER—how to do it, why it matters, what to expect…—don’t miss this Sunday!

See you soon,
