Lent

Fast, Pray, Draw Near

February 18, 2026

Lent is a season of 40 days leading up to Easter, modeled after Jesus’ time of fasting in the wilderness. Christians traditionally give up something during this time as a way to refocus their hearts on Christ, practicing self-denial to grow in dependence on Him. Consider fasting from social media, sweets, or a daily comfort, or adding a new spiritual discipline like Scripture meditation or acts of service. What might God be calling you to set aside or take up this Lent?
