We have stepped into the season of Lent. This is a season of repentance, of recognizing our dependence on God.

One of the major images of Lent is the desert. The desert is the place where trust is cultivated. The desert provides us the opportunity to remember who we are and what we trust as we cling (often with the tips of our fingers) to the hope of Easter.

One of the ways that we cultivate this trust is through rhythms, disciplines, which orient our mind, body, and will towards Christ. These may include fasting, prayer, and scripture reading. Here are a couple of great resources for this season.

The Daily Prayer App is a simple, beautifully designed guide for prayer and scripture reading throughout the day. It is a simplified form of the Daily Office in the Book of Common Prayer. This app will help you to create space (and reminders) for regular prayer.
