This year for Lent I decided that I would fast during the day. Yesterday that plan was a complete failure. I even went so far as to eat food that I normally wouldn’t. Recently, well all of 2024 so far to be exact, I have been going through a very stressful time. With that in mind, I’ve decided to give myself a bit of grace. Today I won’t give myself any restrictions. On Friday I will start back with the Lenten fast. Life is filled with difficulties. So my advice, for whatever it’s worth, is to cut yourself some slack. It’s ok. You don’t have to be perfect.
