The beginning of Lent, a time of fasting and abstinence. A time to renew our lives.
Lord,
Be my strength as I take on the challenges of this new Lent. Give me a willing heart so I may keep Lent faithfully. I ask you to bless me and to be my encouragement.
In your goodness help me in these first days to turn my heart to you in a spirit of penance. Grant me a steadfast focus as I seek to please you, a resolve to overcome my faults, to persevere in prayer and good deeds.
May you spur me on to make the most of these first days, to make this a precious time in my life, a time to grow in your friendship.
I know you will be my strength.
Amen
