Week 2 of Lent Prayers for refreshing our hearts

Do you have plans for Lent? I've been working on something.   Traditionally people give something up for Lent like social media, sugar, carbs, etc. I am all for fasting, in fact, I am trying to learn more about biblical fasting to incorporate more of it into my life. It's attached to prayer in scripture, and prayer is a passion of mine. I want to caution us though, including me, to be careful in our giving something up for Lent.   I don't want us to miss what God really wants

Prayer lets us out of the prison of our own limitations.

When I pick a word for the year instead of a list of resolutions it simplifies my goals. It helps me focus on one thing. There is power in that focus.

As I wrap up this year, I'm choosing to celebrate growth instead of focusing on what I didn't get done.

Submission with a dash of stubborn faith is my recipe this Thanksgiving.

We spend so much time comparing with others that we don't take a hard look at our own lives. I know this is true for me. I can feel that emptiness when I start to compare seep in. It feels like what someone else has was stolen from me.

“Don’t fret or worry” Yeah, that gets me every time too. “Instead of worrying, pray.” I love how Paul gets right to the point, short and...

God measures differently than we do. He isn't limited by time and sees the product while I'm still looking at the tiny seed.
