As we begin this sacred season of Lent, we come before You with humble hearts. On this Ash Wednesday, we remember that we are dust, and to dust we shall return.
Yet in Your great mercy, You breathe life into us again and again.
Lord, search our hearts and reveal anything in us that does not reflect Your love.
Forgive us for the times we have strayed, for the words we have spoken in haste, for the love we have withheld, and for the opportunities to serve that we have ignored.
Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within us. As we receive the ashes, may they not only remind us of our mortality, but also of Your grace, a grace that covers, restores, and redeems.
Teach us to walk this Lenten journey with sincerity. Help us to fast from bitterness, pride, and selfishness. Help us to feast on kindness, humility, and compassion.
May our prayers be deeper, our repentance genuine, and our love more intentional.
Draw us closer to You over these next forty days. Shape us to become more like Christ in our thoughts, our words, and our actions.
We surrender this season to You. Transform us, Lord.
Good Bless us all Amen 🙏
Evening Family
