A Prayer for Lent

 

If today you hear the voice of God,

harden not your hearts. – Psalm 95.8

 

 

Christ my Saviour,

In this season of Lent

guide my steps

from their destructive patterns

I masquerade as good,

from the words spoken

I masquerade as truth,

from the judgemental thoughts

I masquerade as protection,

from the little lies

I masquerade as healthy,

from the false images

I masquerade as who I am.

 

Guide my heart

and restore it.

Guide my living

and transform it.

Guide my all

and renew it,

so, when Easter dawns

I may be a new creation

filled with new life.

Amen.
