Prayer for Lent (Rt. Rev. Dr Martin Fair : Moderator of the General Assembly)


Loving Lord,

Today we set out to walk towards Easter
To the cross and eventually to an empty tomb.
As we travel, open our senses, we pray,
To what you would have us see and hear and taste along the way
And all that Jesus might come more clearly into sight.
Our desire is just that;
To see him more clearly
That we might love him more dearly and follow him more nearly.
Amid the talk of giving things up for Lent,
Forgive us for ways in which we have trivialised spiritual discipline
And lead us to what you would have us take up for Lent
And not least that desire for more of Jesus.
As we travel, shape our souls by your Spirit
And inspire our living by your Word.

We pray in Jesus' name,

Amen
