As we are in the season of Lent . Please spare a moment to read through as it is something which will help you. It will bring you to a closer walk with JESUS and you will experience great peace.
Lenten fasts have a tendency to be oriented toward things like giving up food or television.
But there are many other creative ways we can welcome Jesus' healing touch this Lent. Below are some suggestions you may want to consider.
Fast from: Anger and Hatred:
Give your family and everyone you come across, an extra dose of love each day.
Judging Others:
Before making any judgments, recall how Jesus overlooks our faults.
Discouragement:
Hold on to Jesus' promise that He has a perfect plan for your life.
Complaining:
When you find yourself about to complain, close your eyes and recall some of the little moments of joy Jesus has given you.
Resentment or Bitterness:
Work on forgiving those who may have hurt you.
Spending Too Much Money:
Try to reduce your spending by ten per cent and give those savings to the poor.
