Today is Ash Wednesday. Today starts the 40 days until Easter that most Christians use as a time of fasting and reflection and prayer. So that is what I am going to try to do. Taking today as day 1 I am going to fast on all things sugar and flour and potato and rice. Reflection will come in the form of my blog-daily. And there will be lots of prayer for when I am feeling weak!
"When He who was, who is and who is to come sees each one of us, He sees who we were, who we are and who will become." I love this quote from Beth Moore! God knows who we are who we were and who we will become and still loves us! God sees past all of our imperfections of sin and washes us clean. What a great blessing!
This is the first time that I have had a plan going into Lent as to what I really wanted to do. I pray for strength to complete this task for the glory of God and that all that I do I will stop and concentrate on what the outcome of my actions will lead to and that if I don't see that it is to the Glory of God I will change my action. I am sure there will be bumps along the road but I pray that I can overcome and not rely on myself but rely on the love and mercy of God.
Dear Lord,
As I prepare myself for the season of Lent that is upon us I pray for strength and focus. I pray to feel you more and hear you more through the next 40 days and that when I have reached the end I will not notice that Lent is over and will continue to seek You first and rely on You more and less on myself. Amen
