Mar 8, 2015Is anyone giving up anything for Lent? I gave up lollies. I think it is important to give up something at this time of year!

Mar 9, 2015I don't believe in giving up anything for lent, just to be giving up something. Instead I believe in committing yourself to do some spiritual discipline (i.e. prayer or Bible reading) during lent. That is what I am doing.ReactReply - CA
Mar 9, 2015Well I believe in giving up something if that helps, or dedicating oneself to spiritual studies or prayer if that is what the year calls for. It is indeed such a personal dedication to one's faith. I chose to give up something this year for Lent. I have a new business and I have given up the right to live and walk in fear of failure. I had been very nervous about my new business venture and almost walking in an expectation of failure so decided I must have faith that it will succeed. As long as I keep working hard I can have peace for I have not been given a spirit of fear, but one of power, love and a sound mind. Grace ensures I can believe....Not easy, but I remind myself continually that I have given up the right to be afraid....
