Yet even now, says the LORD, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the LORD, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing.
—Joel 2:12-13
Question—What will be my fasting practice this Lenten season?
Prayer-Lord, I so long to return to you. I now know that I have fled from your presence. I commit to fast and pray this Lenten season. Give me the strength to be able to lay myself before you in this way so that I may return to the joy of your presence. Amen
