Prayer for Lent ;
God of infinite love,
I thank you for this reminder of your love
and your call that we be more patient,
gentle and compassionate with others.
Here in the middle of Lent,
I turn to you to beg for your help.
Please soften my heart.
Help me to let go of judging others.
I ask you this, in Jesus' name.
Morning
Take, Lord, all my liberty.
Receive my memory, my understanding and my will.
Whatever I have and possess you have given to me;
to you I restore it wholly, and to your will
I utterly surrender it for your direction.
Give me the love of yourself only;
with your grace I am rich enough;
nor I ask beside. Amen
Evening ;
Teach me, O God, to entrust all my cares to Thee
and constantly remember Thy mercy,
so that my soul may enjoy spiritual rest.
Let not my sleep be excessive,
but let it serve to renew my strength
so that I may be more ready to serve Thee.
May it please Thee also to keep me pure in body and in spirit,
preserving me from all temptations and all danger,
so that my very sleep may contribute to the glory of Thy name. Amen
(John Calvin)
