Lent: A Return to God

A gentle week of Lenten prayer that walks through repentance, self-denial, mercy, and longing for the joy of the resurrection. Each day invites you to turn, a little more, back toward the God who is already coming out to meet you.

This is a devotional aid for personal prayer and reflection, not a substitute for the worship, counsel, or community of your local church. If fasting during this season affects your health, please speak with a pastor and a medical professional; the heart of Lent is love, not strain.
