Lent: An Opportunity to Start Again

By Gail Johnsen

The 40-day Lenten season serves as a time for spring cleaning for our souls. Practicing Lent includes intentionally inviting God to expose the clutter that has unnoticeably settled in our souls and a willingness to live honestly with ourselves. This is what makes Lent so valuable in our lives. If not for Lent, we might not pause to consider how our life is unfolding. Lent is not only a time to acknowledge our struggles and our humanity, but also to look more carefully at all the ways God's ongoing work of salvation comes to us in the dailyness of our lives. With distracted and crowded lives, Lent invites us to live freely, to give generously, and to respond to the unexpected invitations from God to be reoriented and restored to God in a fresh way, always anticipating the new life God wants to birth in you.Practicing Lent is the act of reimagining the spiritual life and an opportunity to start again.
