Lent | Sunday, March 19
The season of Lent provides a time for us to contemplate the depth and passion of our commitment to Christ as we approach Holy Week and Easter. Forty days are set aside as a sacred time to remember the forty days of fasting and prayer that Jesus spent in the wilderness before beginning His earthly ministry.
Today’s readings at Lent: Overcoming temptation takes perseverance.
Indeed a righteous person will fall seven times, and then get up again,

Proverbs 24:16 NASB
Proverbs 24:16 NIV
Proverbs 24:16 MESSAGE
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
