Blessed Ash Wednesday
“…By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”—Genesis 3:19 NIV
Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Traditionally, this time is devoted to preparing your heart for Easter and growing your relationship with Christ. It’s a time to practice self-discipline, to increase your prayer time and to commit to Bible study. What faith practice will you begin that will promote your spiritual growth?
Lord, as I start my Lenten journey, guide me through the wilderness of this world so that I may embrace the glorious message of new life.
