Lent may only be for 40 days, but as the season of fasting draws to a close, Nigel Thonger asks: what if your Lenten habits could transform your relationship with God permanently?

For Christians, Lent is a serious opportunity to examine our hearts. As we seek inspiration from Jesus’ time in the wilderness and his relationship with his Father, Lent enables us to refocus our lives.

When Jesus was tempted by the devil, his close relationship with the Father made it possible for him to speak powerfully against the devil’s lies. In our world today, with all its trials and temptations, we need our relationship with God to mirror Jesus’ more than ever.
