A Prayer to Begin Lent
Lord Jesus, as we enter the season of Lent help us focus on You, Your life, love, sacrifice, and grace.
For You have known us from the beginning of time,
You have known us in the depths of our dreams and in the darkness of our shame,
You know us as Your beloved.
Help us to grow into that core identity more and more in this season of repentance and mercy.
Give us the rock-solid assurance of Your unwavering commitment to us
as we seek to more fully commit ourselves to You.
Amen.
