The Journey Begins

As Ash Wednesday begins, millions of Christians will begin the 40-day journey of Lent, preparing their hearts and minds to fully celebrate Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection on Easter morning, just as we are beginning here together as we “journey to the cross”.

As we begin this journey today, vowing to prepare our hearts to fully accept the gift of grace on Easter morning, what if we simply asked God to help us experience an awakening over the next 40 days of Lent that would lead us to fully accepting His gift? What if we asked that He consume our lives with His presence and His will so that we can wake up Easter morning ready to experience His love in an amazing new way?

We encourage you to spend quiet time with God during this Lenten season, letting Him guide you. We will be joining you each day, sharing His Word, inspiration, and specific prayers that you can pray each week as you step out in faith and take this journey towards the cross.

You will be reading excerpts from Journey to the Cross: Forty Days to Prepare Your Heart for Easter, from the (in)courage community, along the way. If you are enjoying this series, you can purchase the book to experience forty days of encouragement and guided Scripture, reflections, and prayers.
