Prayer for Lent

Loving God,
I am just beginning to realize how much you love me.
Your son, Jesus was humble and obedient.
He fulfilled your will for him by becoming human and suffering with us.
I ask you for the desire to become more humble
so that my own life might also bear witness to you.
I want to use the small sufferings I have in this world
to give you glory.

Please, Lord, guide my mind with your truth.
Strengthen my life by the example of Jesus.
Help me to be with Jesus in this week
as he demonstrates again his total love for me.
He died so that I would no longer
be separated from you.
Help me to feel how close you are
and to live in union with you.

Morning

Good morning, Lord!

Thank You for a new day.

Thank You that Your compassion is renewed every morning.

Great is Your faithfulness and Your steadfast love, O Lord!

I don’t know what all is going to happen today,

and how much I’ll get done,

but You do.

So I give this day to You.

Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, Father.

Energize me for Your work,

because You know how tired these bones are.

Awaken me to the wonder of Your salvation,

and quicken my spirit to the reality of Your work in my life.

Lord, my mind is filled with creative ideas,

but they’re all jumbled.

Holy Spirit, come and hover over my mind like

You hovered over the waters at creation

and speak order out of the chaos!

Help me to cease striving and to trust that

You will give me all I need today to do the work

You’ve given me to do.

You will be faithful to complete

the good work You’ve started,

and as I step out into my day,

I declare Your sovereignty over every area of my life.

I entrust myself to You and ask that

You use me however You see fit.

This day is Yours.

My body is Yours.

My mind is Yours.

Everything I am is Yours.

May You be pleased with me today. Amen.

(Asheritah Ciuciu)

Evening

Grant me a good night's sleep tonight,

God, so that I can awake refreshed

and ready to begin another day loving you.

Thank you again for blessings

so undeserved and too numerous to count.

I love being your child,

and I long for the word "faithful"

to describe my service to you,

each day of every year.

When I awake in the morning,

may it be with a joyful smile,

not a grumpy spirit.

May your protection and your presence

bathe this place with peace and safety against the enemy.

Good night, Lord. In Jesus's name, Amen.
