Lent can be one of the more difficult church seasons to go through, but if God is right there alongside us the whole time, there is nothing to worry about. Mary Austin assures us that God is with us everywhere that we go this Lenten season, and that Jesus is closer to us than ever, even in this time of his fast approaching death and betrayal.

And may he go with us, in every place where we feel abandoned, lost, fearful, doubting…so we know that we are never alone" ("Never Really Alone"). Austin continues in the idea of emphasizing that nobody is alone during this Lenten season, not even the disciples of Jesus like you and me. Although we may have our doubts, our fears, our lack of faith throughout our lives, Jesus does not turn away from us. "Jesus sees all of this in his friends, as he sees it in us, and what does he do? He comes closer" ("Feet and Hearts").
