How To Become Closer To God During Lent. It's about giving of ourselves for the sake of getting closer to god. I find lent is a time that i can draw closer to god typically through prayer and word.
I can tell him how i feel, ask for forgiveness and give thanks for all the graces he is pouring upon me and my family. Pray, fast, give alms and let god do the rest. Think about prayer as a way to become closer to god during lent.
In the midst of the poor and the marginalized.
I can’t remember what i gave up at year, but the important part isn’t what i gave up, but rather what i gained. The lenten season became more meaningful the year a pastor challenged me to not worry so much about what i was giving up but to focus on what i could add to my life that would enhance my relationship with god. If you are serious about it, you will find that you can indeed become closer to god through your fasting you chose. Consistent, prayerful thanksgiving allows you to shift your focus from the problems in your life to the goodness of god and his willingness.
