Reflecting on Lenten Season of Prayer and Fasting

Embracing the Lenten season of prayer and fasting involves reflecting on Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness, resisting lesser desires out of a deep longing to bring His followers home. Fasting is portrayed as voluntary suffering, aligning oneself with the afflicted to embody their involuntary suffering, similar to God's voluntary suffering on the cross. This voluntary suffering during fasting may prime individuals to be sources of healing for those afflicted, shifting personal suffering into a means of shared healing.
