"Some of us will consider giving up something in this season of Lenten preparation. The practice is not so much about self sacrifice, but about fasting and reframing our attention to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Pray this week that your journey in Lent will reveal the places where you have turned your attention from God."
