For the first time during the season of Lent, I have decided to pick up a good habit rather than give up something.
I had been wanting to make this change when mentally going through the list of what I could do. Then, I came across this blog while on my lunch break yesterday afternoon. Basically, you take the people in your life, people in your family, that you work with and even people you don't get along well with. Each of the 40 days of Lent, you offer up your daily prayers for one individual on your list all day.
I honestly think it's a great idea. I know having done a 365 photo challenge greatly helped me with my photography last year. I hope this journey will do a similar thing for my prayer life. While I am pretty good with spontaneous prayer, in the journey, I hope to work on the Rosary which has never been a big part of my faith life, but has been for some of the people I've admire most.
I have my first two days planned and will be setting aside each of the 40 days plus Sundays as prayer days for particular individuals. I will be assigning people a day within the next few days. I am definitely nervous, but anything worth doing isn't easy.
Have a good Lent people.
