Matthew 4:1-2

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights he was hungry”

So as we enter into the 40 days of lent, in preparation for Easter, and hope for a new life, may we prepare ourselves through daily devotion, drawing ourselves closer to our Father and allowing the Spirit to move us. May we make room in our lives through sacrifices so that we may focus on a new spiritual discipline, to avoid temptations, and to strengthen our faith. May we use this time to pray for a new beginning, for guidance to our calling, and our own ministry.
