PRAYER

Creator, Redeemer; thank you for this day. I don’t know what it will bring but You know, and I will act in faith and follow Your lead. Thank you also for the promise of the Cross; and the blessed life I have been granted in this Earthly existence. I am focusing less on what I am giving up for Lent and more on what I’m adding to my Spiritual discipline. I pray for perseverance, self-control, discipline and patience as I move through the Lenten Season…may I view people with compassion rather than judgement. Today when I feel pulled by temptation, help me examine my ways and return to You. Please forgive me of my sins and lapses. “Looking toward the Cross”; in the name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen
