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
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the blessings in my life.
I confess that I haven’t stopped to give you thanks
for the many ways you have blessed me.
Instead, I’ve let problems take over my attention.
Forgive me, Lord.
You deserve all the gratitude I can give and so much more.
Each day seems to bring more problems,
and the more I focus on them the more discouraged I become.
Your Word teaches me the value of gratitude.
In Psalm 50:23, you proclaim,
“The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”
Help me remember this amazing promise and make gratitude a priority in my life.
Starting each day giving thanks to you for life’s blessings
will renew my attitude toward any problems that happen.
Gratitude is a powerful weapon against discouragement and hopelessness.
Strengthen me, Lord, to resist distractions and focus fully on your goodness.
Thank you for the greatest gift of all,
your son Jesus Christ. In his name, Amen.
(Kristine Brown)
Evening
Jesus, thank you for today.
Please keep me and my family safe and healthy,
tonight and tomorrow. Amen.
