#fastingandpraying

Lent can be a season of deep reflection, but it can also bring frustration, spiritual battles, and inner struggles. It’s a time when we are called to fast, pray, and draw closer to God—which often means facing the very things that try to pull us away from Him.

Why the Frustration?

Spiritual resistance – The enemy hates when we press into God. (Ephesians 6:12)

Inner purification – God is revealing what needs surrendering. (Psalm 139:23-24)

Dying to self – Our flesh resists the discipline of fasting & sacrifice. (Luke 9:23)

But remember—this frustration can be holy. It’s a sign that God is working in you, stripping away distractions, refining your heart, and strengthening your spirit. Stay the course, even when it’s tough. Easter’s victory in Jesus' Resurrection is coming! ✝️💜
