Heavenly Father,
We continue our journey through this season of Lent with hearts filled with love for you, giving you all glory, honor and praise. You alone are holy and worthy of our worship.We redouble our efforts to be pleasing in your sight.
As we exercise spiritual disciplines, we do so to honor you and bring you pleasure. Let these sacrifices and additions of spiritual practices help us grow closer to you, to reflect Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the wilderness, and develop our spiritual maturity. When resolutions fail, let our devotion to you in these disciplines succeed because they are designed to honor you.
We ask for your guiding Spirit to be present among us during Lent and always. Help us grow into your likeness. Give us the courage to proclaim you boldly to those who need to know of your saving grace, unconditional love, and blessed forgiveness.
We seek your blessing for all the people of the Early UMC. Pour out your favor over your church so we can be ministers of the Gospel who honor you in all our actions. Let our activities and our worship be pleasing in your sight.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
