Nineteenth Day of Lent
O God,
Jesus told us that he is the life.
Help us remember that life is to be lived.
Help us remember that we are to keep
living it for as long as we are alive.
Let our lives be lived out of the
reality of the presence of Christ in us.
If we are living—if we are thinking, feeling,
speaking, and acting—in ways that don’t
reflect the presence of Christ in us,
help us repent.
Help us live differently.
As we are living—as we are thinking,
feeling, speaking, and acting—in ways
that reflect the presence of Christ in us,
help us continue.
Help us live consistently.
Thank you for the life we have to live.
Thank you for Christ in us.
Help us by your grace to live
the fullest lives we can live.
Amen.
