Lent is a time for introspection, meditation and prayer.
After the death of my second husband, I moved and changed churches. I fell into debilitating depression and lost all confidence and self-esteem. Self-destructive behavior, such as not eating or taking care of myself and not breathing properly, caused health problems. I had to retire because I couldn't function.
God didn't give up on me. I have felt Him working in my heart through my prayers and those of others. I now attend a mental health group and a Christian-based grief group. God has given me the tools and opportunities to build a life of my own.
Life is short.
With the help of Jesus Christ, who suffered for us, we must try to glorify him by living life the best we can. If He doesn't give up on us, we have to face our fears and not give up on ourselves.
