When do we see Jesus running? When do we see Jesus in a hurry? When do we see Jesus checking his planner? When do we see Jesus telling people to make an appointment? When do we see Jesus out of breath? We simply don’t. Photo credit: ©Getty Images/Andrii Zorii

Lent consists of the forty days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. During Lent, individuals give up something in order to spend more time with the Lord. This six-week study will help us understand Lent and focus on its important aspects and practices, including prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. I pray that this Bible study, which includes a lesson for each week within the Lenten timeframe, will help you spiritually prepare your heart for Easter and the year beyond.

Lent is a 40-day journey (not counting Sundays) of six weeks, designed to help us focus on walking spiritually with Jesus on his way to the cross so we’ll be prepared to celebrate his resurrection on Easter. Reading Scripture from the Bible during Lent helps us pay close attention to the journey Jesus took as our Savior, as well as to the journey that Jesus is calling us to take in our lives to grow spiritually. Every Bible passage that relates to Lent can help us connect more closely with Jesus as we reflect on what he did for us, why it matters, and how it can empower us today.God promises in Jeremiah 29:13: “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Following a Scripture reading plan for Lent can help us seek God wholeheartedly and discover new aspects of who he is that inspire us and motivate us to grow closer to him. So, let’s look forward to what we can learn from reading his Word throughout Lent! Here’s a Scripture reading plan for all six weeks of Lent.Photo Credit: SWN Design

Walk from Lent to Easter with guided Bible studies, heartfelt prayers, and printable poems that keep the wonder of the resurrection in front of you—and renew your heart long after Easter Sunday.

Fasting can feel like a “Lent-only” discipline—something reserved for solemn weeks leading up to Resurrection Sunday. But Scripture shows fasting is far bigger than a seasonal tradition. It’s a focused way to deny yourself something temporary (often food) so you can “feast” on the presence of God through prayer, His Word, and deeper dependence.

The Christian Woman’s Guide to Fasting and Prayer walks you through what fasting actually is, why believers fasted throughout the Old and New Testaments, and how prayer transforms fasting from mere deprivation into spiritual intimacy. You’ll see how God’s people fasted in desperate moments, for closeness to God, for spiritual warfare, and for guidance in ministry. You’ll also get practical pointers—how to plan wisely, protect your health, keep your fast private, and start small if you’re new to it.

If your heart is craving clarity, renewed discipline, or a fresh spiritual breakthrough, this guide is designed to help you step into fasting with confidence and purpose.
