Even in (maybe most especially in) our wilderness experiences, God provides for us. The season of Lent is an invitation to reflect on the ways in which God has provided, is providing, and will continue to provide.

 

We have a model for how to go about this in Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness: fast, pray, seek God, respond appropriately to the temptations and testing we encounter on a daily basis. Jesus’ experience in the wilderness gives us courage and hope to face our own dark times with the knowledge that God is with us and God provides for us.

​

We are God’s beloved children.
