Christian practices, disciplines, sacraments, liturgies, etc. lead to well-being and wholeness (Acts 2:40-47). So, we have focused this Lenten season on getting our bodies and souls fit for engaging on a deeper level with Easter. Specifically for my mind, I needed to reduce distraction and improve concentration. As the Lord continues purifying me during this Holy Week, I want mental acuity and fortitude to enable me to finish Lent strong, die again with Christ on Good Friday, and rise again with Him on Easter morn (Romans 6:4-14). There were habits that became further developed for me during Lent: 1) I practiced assigning certain times in the day to welcome interruptions and other times to commit to deep, focused prayer or service (Matthew 17:21). 2) I enjoyed surrounding myself with resources and people who influence me to grow in self-control (Galatians 5:23) and help me have rational, big-picture perspectives and decision-making processes (1 Peter 1:13). 3) I was able to prioritize God-pleasing thought and deed in church involvement, in spiritual study, and in godly conduct (1 Timothy 3:15). I feel positioned now to retain these true mental health benefits that come from practicing Lent. What about you? Would it help you to make a list of a few ways Lent has bettered your mind, body, or soul for resurrection-living for Easter and beyond?
