In this lenten season, we have the tendency of perhaps complaining or boasting of our lenten sacrifices or offerings. During this lenten season, it is a time for us to better ourselves as people and as faithful servants of God.
It may seem pretty panic-stricken when all you see on social media are people posting of how fruitful their lent has been. That is great for them, but is it also great if it has been hard.
It is supposed to be a challenge.
If you feel as though, it has been nothing but difficult and you've failed more than you would like to admit, that is okay.
We are human, we are bound to fail. We are bound to fall back into old habits.
If we are struggling, it only means that we are trying.
When we experience no struggle, that is when it is dangerous.
If your prayer has been dry, embrace it.
If all you have been feeling is "Meh" ask yourself, why do I feel this way?
Chances are, we are not taking time to appreciate beauty around us. We are so caught up in life, we forget to stop and smell the roses.
We won't always be in this dry season. It is just that we have to try harder.
God wants us to try more and persevere through it.
That is when we grow. We grow when we least feel it, when we least want to.
As long as the effort is there, you do your part and God will do his.
If you keep failing on your lenten service, don't give up. Follow through with it and make it through the end. Your rewards will be far greater than you imagined.
