Faith in the valleys of life is often where our trust in God grows deepest. During the 40 days of Lent, believers are invited to sacrifice something meaningful as a way of training our hearts to be more like Jesus—especially as we reflect on His ultimate sacrifice at Calvary. In His darkest moment on the cross, Jesus demonstrated profound faith and love, saying: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34) and “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit.” (Luke 23:46). These words remind us that faith sustains us not only in mountaintop moments but also in the valleys.
