LENTEN SEASON

Be sure to get a copy of the Prayer and Fasting Guide.

Each day, there are four sections:

• Made Free daily reading plan
• Personal prayer or reflection prompt
• Intercession
• A space to write some thoughts or reflections.

If you find yourself behind on the days, that is okay! Just pick up on the current day and begin again. We trust the Lord’s kindness and mercy as we learn to devote our hearts to Him.

There are seven weeks between Ash Wednesday and Easter, but we are only following a 40-day fast. Why is that?

The traditional 40 days of Lent do not include Sundays. On Sundays, you will find a break in the focus on repentance and fasting during the Lenten season. Sundays are a reminder of the resurrection of Jesus and God’s complete salvation. We will use these weekly breaks on Sundays to include a change in the intercession rhythm. We will focus our prayers on our friends, our city, and our world.

Feel free to take Sundays as a day to celebrate and break your fast.

If you want to talk with someone or enter a special prayer time at any point during this fast, your elders and ministry staff are available to listen and pray with you. Freedom Prayer is another available resource, and they have teams ready to receive you and guide you to Jesus through prayer. If you do not know how to contact an elder, staff member, or Freedom Prayer leader, go to harpethhills.org/prayer.
