As we come fully into Lent, I would like to remind everyone to pray often! One of the best sacrifices you can do is to give up some of your play time to prayer time! Bi-directional conversation with God, through prayer and reading the Bible (and listening to God’s Words via the Bible and the world), is key to a good relationship with God, which leads to His saving Graces!
As you pray, remember this time of suffering by our Lord, Jesus Christ, and thank Him for all he has done for you!
In Christ
