This lent I begin with a lofty list of prayers for a person everyday, 2 weeks into lent I forgot about it and got busy with work, family and studies and absolutely fell off track! I felt guilty when I was craving my moms favourite chicken dish!
Today the people in the first reading vowed to follow the covenant and the Lord of Moses however, soon they built idols and started worshipping them! complete deviation from the promise !
So when God on the behest of Moses refrained from punishment and accepted their apology, I know I can still re start my lenten practise through prayer and fasting!
So if any of you have eaten that chicken burger on a friday or skipped a rosary for a work meeting — dont fret ! just restart all over again! Our loving God is like the father running towards us the prodigal children .. to embrace us in his arms and protect us!
So run Forest ! Run!!
PRAYER:
As I return to my Lenten promises oh lord, help me realise why I want to get into this relationship with you! Help me come closer to you oh Lord and begin a fresh!
AMEN
