A Prayer for Lenten Grace
Loving God,
During this season of Lent, bring me closer to you
Prepare a place in my home and heart for silence and solitude
So that I may re-discover the grace of a prayer-full life.
Help me to fast from those things that threaten the well-being
Of body and soul and remind me of the grace of simplicity
Enlarge my heart so that I give to those in need and, in so doing,
Re-discover the grace of gratitude and generosity.
May this season be a grace-filled time to rekindle
My love for and faith in you. Amen
