Dear Lord, thank you for the cross, the authentic symbol of the suffering, horrendous pain, you endured for all humanity, shattering all illusions and expectations by crushing the enemy of our souls through your triumph embedded in your unending, unmatched, eternal love, validated by your resurrection, and promise to return.
As we journey through this Lenten season, renew, repair, refill, revive our hearts with the fruits of your Holy Spirit. Let us not be afraid, obsessed with worry over situations we cannot change, but fix our eyes on you, the author and finisher of all things. Inspire us to be intentionally kinder, more loving, more forgiving, more committed to model your characteristics and allow your light to shine and draw others to you.
Forgive us, when we err, increase our listening capacity to hear and discern your voice regardless of the life’s daily noise level.
Thank you for loving us and being gracious especially when we don’t deserve it.
