Heavenly Father,
In this season of Lent, turn our hearts and minds toward you. Help us to set and follow disciplines to focus our faith and honor you. Give us the courage to do more – giving up more than the superficial and sacrificing as Jesus did those 40 days.
Guide us to add a discipline of worship – daily prayer, reading of your Word, purposeful interaction with the faithful, and ministry to those who don’t know you.
Let us spend time in contemplation of Jesus’ life, ministry, and passion. Quiet our minds to tune out noise and distractions so we can give you our full attention, our sincere devotion.
We give you all honor, glory and praise. We seek your continued blessings and desire your favor for the people of the Early UMC. Equip us to do your will, become disciples, and grow in knowledge of you.
In Jesus’ holy and precious name we pray. Amen.
