When we enter into the Lenten season, we enter into spiritual warfare. Expect Satan to discourage you, but don\u2019t talk to the snake \u2026 go directly to Jesus.\xa0

  • Add more silence to your day: give God some extra time to speak to your heart, teaching you to become more like him (we become like those we hangout with).
  • Choose your fast wisely: make sure you\u2019re picking a fast that will really challenge you and that you\u2019ll feel all of Lent.
  • Stop hitting the snooze button: replace those extra few minutes of sleep with a few minutes of prayer each morning.
  • Get off social media: we can waste a lot of time on social media that could be spent with God or our brothers and sisters. Kick that habit during Lent.
  • Make sure you have accountability: find a close friend you can be vulnerable with and hold each other accountable this Lent.
  • Replace a good for a greater good: whatever you\u2019re fasting from, find a prayer or spiritual practice to replace it with during Lent.
