Dear Parent/Guardian,

When you pray, go to your inner room,

Close the door, and pray to your Father in secret.

Matthew 6:6

The season of Lent provides us with some time to take a spiritual inventory. The challenge is often when do we set aside time to do this? Life is busy and full. We have responsibilities and obligations. However, Matthew suggests when we pray we go to our inner room. Where is the inner room? Is it the physical space where we feel comfortable, can think and reflect about who we are? Or is it our inner heart where we identify our personal challenges?

Probably it is both places – physical and spiritual. We need the physical space and quiet to identify our spiritual needs. As we continue the journey of Lent, think about where you will go to reflect in quiet and identify what you need to change to grow spiritually.
