A recipe for Lent: Ask, Seek, Knock

Just imagine what could happen if you took this gospel seriously. What if you really asked God for what God knew was good for you, and really sought to find his will for you, and knocked on the door so that God would come into your heart and soul more deeply and fully. That is what Lent is all about. It is asking God for what we need to grow spiritually. It is seeking to find God in every aspect of our life. And it is knocking to be allowed to enter the Kingdom of heaven.
