Lent is a wonderful opportunity to find our peace, joy, and comfort in God.Ā We do this by denying ourselves our usual sources of support, distraction, and pleasure. Ā To be filled by God is to run the risk of emptying ourselves out of other things.Ā This takes trust, courage and patience. Ā God always responds to this kind of personal faith, even when it is imperfect and needs to grow.
