The season of Lent can also be more than we ourselves give up. but the cross we offer to bear.
For example, an extra 30 minutes of reading God's Word each day, or 10 minutes of daily prayer.
Don't worry if you have not started yet, I don't believe that God is holding a stop watch right now...
But try offering 10 minutes of pure, quiet, one-on-one prayer each day for the remainder of the Lenten season.
What's 10 minutes a day? Right?
Go to a quiet place, lock the door, or whatever you have to do, ask your family to respect your 10 minutes of privacy. And pray to God for 10 minutes each day.
If you havent done this before, I caution you, it will be hard.
No cheating is allowed, you cannot think about other stuff, or plan your day (Let God plan your day) don't waste your time fantacizing, or daydreaming, just spend 10 minutes with the Lord your God.
Just 10 minutes. You can even start late.
It WILL! change your life.
May God richly bless each of you during this season of anticipation.
