DAILY LENTEN PRAYERS

WEEK OF ASH WEDNESDAY

FEBRUARY 14TH - FEBRUARY 17TH

FEBRUARY 14th

Great Musician, as I settle into this Lenten season, guide my path. Give me the wisdom and the strength to leave behind the things that distract or discourage. I want more open space in my life. I want more open space for you.  Amen.


FEBRUARY 15TH

Great Musician, you know when I am playing out of key. You know when I am starting my days with half-energy, half-heart, or half-hope. So today I pray: give my faith a “tune up.” Help me return to you even more faithful than before. Gratefully I pray, Amen.


FEBRUARY 16TH

Holy God, I could pray for you to create in me a clean heart. I could pray for you to wipe away my distractions. I could pray for you to settle my spirit on the side of joy. I could pray for peace in the world and peace with me. I could pray for an abiding sense of your presence—like a shadow at my heels. I could pray for all of these things, and so I will. God, hear these prayers. Take them all. Be with me. Amen.


FEBRUARY 17TH

God of the here and now, you know my entire being. You know my feelings, my fears, and my heart. Sift through all that I am carrying today and turn my attention to the good that remains. In a world of waves, thank you for being steadfast. Amen.
