A Prayer for Friday, February 20, 2015

Third Day of Lent

O God,

Help us to go deep.

Help us to go deep into our spirit
to see what is there.

For the love that is there,
for the mercy that is there,
for the grace that is there,
for the faith that is there,
for the compassion that is there,
for the peace that is there, and
for the hope that is there,

we thank you and ask you to make
those realities even stronger in us.

For the apathy that is there,
for the grudges that are there,
for the bitterness that is there,
for the despair that is there,
for the hate that is there,
for the envy that is there, and
for the self-righteousness that is there,

we ask for the grace truly to repent so that
our thoughts and motives change.

Help us to go deep …

Amen.
