Prayer for Lent ;
Loving God of forgiveness,
I come before you humbled and sad
in the face of my own repeated failings.
I hold out my hands as a petitioner would,
asking for mercy.
It is then that I feel you reach out and take my hand
in your loving grasp.
Thank you for the love you pour out on me
so lavishly.
Help me to follow more closely
in the path you have set for me,
the path of your Son.
Morning
Father in Heaven, teach me I pray to walk as thy witness on earth
Strengthen my spirit and grant me the faith
to serve as the Saviour would serve
Where there is sorrow
let me impart the hope and the comfort of truth
Where there is suffering
open my heart to do as the Saviour would do
Where there is hunger
guide thou my hands to give as the Saviour would give
Where there is fear
give me courage to stand and live as the Saviour would live, Amen
Evening
Loving Lord and heavenly Father,
I offer up today all that I am,
all that I have, all that I do,
and all that I suffer,
to be Yours today and Yours forever.
Give me grace, Lord,
to do all that I know of Your holy will.
Purify my heart,
sanctify my thinking,
correct my desires. Amen.
(Elisabeth Elliot)
