O Most Gracious Savior and Everlasting God,
As we begin another journey to Easter, may we remember to use Lent as a time to prepare ourselves for Your greatest act of love.
May we use our minds, our hearts and our bodies, to do Your will. May we make choices that help others and bring us all, closer to You and Your Kingdom.
Be close to us and forgive us, for all the times when we could do better. We trust in You, we have faith in You, and we know You love us.
Thank you for all the blessings You shower over us, all the gifts You give us, and all the talents You grace us with. May we use these to make Your world a stronger and more peaceful place.
We promise our prayers and our lives to You. We look to Your light and salvation, to guide us.
Praise You Almighty Lord and Creator of all ...
