For Christians, Lent is a time of penance and renewal; a time to reflect, to strengthen faith, and to examine our Christian journey. This devotional has been written in hopes of informing and inspiring for the forty days of Lent. Starting with Ash Wednesday, each devotional has Scripture, a brief essay based on the Scripture, and a prayer--a helpful guide as you take a few moments each day of Lent to read, meditate, and pray.
