Lent Day 1

The season of Lent mirrors Jesus’s temptation in the wilderness. Jesus was led into the wilderness, where he fasted for 40 days while being tempted by Satan. His sacrifice of the physical bolstered his spiritual stamina. Likewise, our sacrifices of the things the body desires prepare us to persevere through temptation and other spiritual hardships.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, as you fasted in the wilderness to sustain the temptations of Satan, I pray that I would grow in spiritual stamina through this forty-day fast of Lent. I pray that by the Holy Spirit, I would have the strength to abstain, be strong in my fast and that my sacrifice would allow me to see your glory and goodness more clearly. Amen.
