Lent has become, for me, less about striving and more about paying attention. It’s a season that gently invites me to slow down, listen more deeply, and notice what is stirring beneath the surface of ordinary days. This year, that invitation feels closely tied to one of my practices for 2026: learning to truly be here – paying close attention to what this moment is asking of me, and what being here genuinely means in my life.
“In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper in the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.” — Howard Thurman
Lenten Resources I’m Loving (and the Music That’s Carrying Me Through)
#1 Pray As You Go continues to be a steady rhythm—Scripture, music, and silence invite me into prayer without hurry, helping me show up to the present moment with gentleness.
#2 Kate Bowler’s reflections from Have a Beautiful, Terrible Life have been grounding. Her words remind me that life is messy as are we, but there’s always hope and laughter.
#3 The Quiet Collection by Emily P. Freeman offers reflections that help me calm my inner pace and notice how God works quietely and powerfully in my life.
The Music I’m Loving Right Now
Music has become its own kind of prayer for me this season – a soundtrack to slow mornings, writing in silence, and moments of reflection.
This is the playlist that’s been carrying me through these days: Lent 2026 – playlist by Corinne @ The Frangipani Creative. I created it with songs that feel meditative, peaceful, and heart-opening – music that helps me rest into stillness and pay attention to the moment I’m in.
Together, these resources help anchor my days – not by filling space, but by inviting me into the space I’m already in, more fully and more gently.
Wherever you are in this season, may you find moments of quiet, presence that feels like grace, and music that reminds you, again and again, to just be here.
