I remember being told (repeatedly_ that Lent was about suffering. We were supposed to give up something dear to us so that, in some small way, experience the suffering of Christ. Not really what you are talking about.
I refocus my faith by doing my morning and even recitation of a portion of the Lotus Sutra. I do this every day. In the morning I begin anew with fresh determination and hope. In the evening, I review, express apreciation and renew my determination. Whenever I am overwhelmed, I read the words of Nichiren, which never fail to touch my life and inspire me to start again.
