Thought for Friday February 19

A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness;
in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
Thoroughly wash me from my guilt
and of my sin cleanse me.
A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

Matthew 9: 14 – 15 The disciples of John approached Jesus and said, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but your disciples do not fast?”


What do I think about when I am fasting and my stomach growls? Is fasting something I do for me or for God?


Action: Try fasting a couple of extra times during Lent.
