Prayer
for the First Sunday of Lent
God,
we come
with
hesitant steps
and
uncertain motives
to
sweep out the corners
where
sin has accumulated,
and
uncover the ways
we
have strayed from Your truth.
Expose
the empty and barren places
where
we don’t allow you to enter.
Reveal
our half-hearted struggles
where
we have been indifferent
to
the suffering of others.
Nurture
the faint stirrings of new life,
where
your spirit has begun to grow.
Let
your healing light transform us
into
the image of Your Son.
For
You alone can bring new life
and
make us hole.
