During this season of Lent, make it a daily practice to check your thoughts and actions for barriers that block you from having a closer relationship with God. Let go of what is impeding you from living your best full life and go forward on the path He clears for you.
My Heavenly Father, I invite You into the places of my life where temptation lives. Release me of thoughts and things that get in the way our relationship.
