Trying to experience Lent by yourself - often a challenge - often difficult - often a failure. From those who know - journeying with a partner - much easier - more successful. Most who have done Lent well - have done it with at least one other person - some - in sizable groups. It is always more affirming - more helpful - more rewarding - when sharing faith with others. Many will try alone - private prayers - personal reading - quiet meditation - missed intentions - forgotten for days - done before started. Partners - groups - community - challenge - encourage - affirm - the value of doing Lent well. Prayer groups - Bible studies - group devotionals - all very successful. The hardest part - starting - the easiest part - quitting.
Jesus said that all were called - not all responded - many drifted by the wayside. Walking with Jesus - a challenge - trying to keep pace - easy. Jesus does not run - Jesus does not sprint - Jesus walks - at a pace just for you. Your decision - He is there - smiling - waiting - for you.
