What if I’m past the midpoint of Lent and not much is going on?
I began with the best of intentions, but I am not sure what I’m doing or what I want to be doing.
Can my Lent be “rescued”?
Can a six week journey be completed in the remaining next two or three weeks – waiting for my heart to be open?
Of course, the answer is “yes.”
It doesn’t take long for God, when we are ready.
The first step to beginning again has already begun, if I have the desire for something real during Lent.
A therapist once said that “we get better when we get tired of not being better.”
This isn’t the same as “guilt.” Feeling guilty for not doing much about Lent won’t get us very far.
What we need is a real desire – a real sense of expectation that God has something for me to hear, to learn, to change, and I want to be ready to listen.
The superb Creighton Online Ministries website offers some very simple guidelines to help give Lent a new start in the days ahead.
