Prayer - Lent

Heavenly Father,

We seek You on this journey, Lord, praising and glorifying you. We worship You and You alone. In a time of reflection and repentence, we draw closer to You, our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer.

We walk through the days of Lent with our eyes on You and hearts open to learn more, deepen our faith, and make a new commitment to life lived glorifying You. Draw us closer. Lead us into Your Word. Reveal to us Your will for our lives.

Forgive us, Lord, for our sins. We sincerely and deeply regret our failures in your sight. We turn away from our old selves and instead turn toward You and live in great confidence and hope. Renew us, refresh us, and restore us to relationship with You.

We see in Jesus Your grace and mercy at work. We gratefully thank you for seeing our need and meeting it before we understood what You did for us by sending Your Son to be our Savior.

And it is in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
