Lent is a season of preparation. Easter is coming some 40 days from now. The biggest
celebration in Christian life, the acknowledgement that, though Jesus died, yet he lives!
He conquered sin and death. He made a way for us to be with God. For such a
celebration, we want our hearts to be ready.

For many, Lent is a season of self-denial. People often choose something they love or
spend time or money on to give up for Lent. Others choose to add something to their
routine during Lent—scripture reading or prayer for example.

Whatever you do, whether addition or subtraction, Lent is about making space to be
with God, to abide in the presence of God. I hope that these suggested practices,
scriptures, and prayers help you to dwell with God and remain close to God’s spirit this
season.
