Lent Prayer :
God of such unwavering love,
how do I "celebrate"
the passion and death of Jesus?
I often want to look the other way
and not watch,
not stay with Jesus in his suffering.
Give me the strength
to see his love with honesty and compassion
and to feel deeply
your own forgiveness and mercy for me.
Help me to understand
how to "celebrate" this week.
I want to be able to bring
my weaknesses and imperfections with me
as I journey with Jesus this week,
so aware of his love.
Morning
Heavenly Father,
I have been so wishy-washy when it comes to taking hold of
Your promises and making them mine.
But today, I’m putting my foot down!
I will not allow my human reason to talk me out of my spiritual inheritance.
I will set my foot down on every promise that You have given me today.
I’m going in! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
(Sharon Jayes)
Evening
Come Holy Spirit,
fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations,
Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
