Lent 2024 Day 5: Why Do We Have to Wait?
Why does God make us wait?
We know that God gives us the opportunity to place our faith and trust in Him, to be grateful for His provision, and to recognize His divine plan. God wants us to remain in a state of faith, trusting Him and relying on Him. We know He is faithful, and He will fulfill His promises in His perfect timing, just like He did with Joseph.
Lent 2024 Day 4: My Reason for My Commitment to God

Lent 2024 Day 3: Patiently Endure: There’s More In Store
We often get upset when someone’s not treating us right or lets us down, when a relationship disappoints us, or when incorrect assumptions are made about us or our motives. We all face situations where things don’t go as planned, and it’s easy to become frustrated when circumstances just don’t seem to be improving.
Lent 2024 Day 2: A COMMITMENT TO LESS, A MISSION OF MORE
Lent is an interesting season – one of self-denial, penitence, prayer and reflection. I often wondered why we, as Christ’s followers, needed to fast for 40 days. Is this merely a ritual that we’ve become accustomed to observing or is there any significance to this discipline?
Day 1: Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent reminds us that we are from dust and return to dust. It also reminds us, that we will die and face the consequences of sin. Lent is an invitation to reflect, repent, and renew our commitment to living a life of faith.
