Throughout the season of Lent, we will be posting different thoughts and resources to help you along on your Lenten journey.
As today is Ash Wednesday, we share with you a Prayer for Guidance that was used at this morning's service. Whether you were able to attend a service today and receive the imposition of ashes, or are observing this day in spirit, may your journey into this season be blessed.
Generous God who fills the earth with abundance–Oceans and skies full of water, fields that yield food, flowers and birdsong and beauty of all sorts–May we live with generous hearts, with open hands.
Humble God who became flesh and entered into our humanity–who touched the untouchable, spoke to the outcasts, washed the disciples’ feet–May we live with humble hearts, looking always to the needs of others.
Righteous God who longs for us to be in relationship with you–through sincere prayer, fasting, worship, scripture reading, fellowship–May we love you with all of our hearts, minds, and souls.
Walk with us on this Lenten journey, Lord. Give us eyes to see the path you would have us take. Give us ears to hear the truth you would speak to us. Give us the wisdom to store our treasure with you, so that our hearts may abide in your perfect peace. Amen
