Entering The Season of Lent

Holy Spirit, where are you leading me?

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10)

Preparing For Lent

What is the one thing I want God to do in my life? What attitudes or habits might I need to surrender to grow closer to Christ?

Are there specific spiritual disciplines I feel led to focus on (prayer, fasting, Scripture reading, service, solitude)? What is at least one practice I could realistically commit to daily or weekly for these forty days?

How will I invite the Spirit to guide me through this season each day? Is there someone that I can share this journey with?

Journal a prayer.
