Heavenly Father, as we enter our Lenten break in the weeks to come,,we thank and praise You for Your gracious and unconditional love. We ask that You teach us how to turn our hearts back to You.
Help us cleanse our sins and lead us to repentance that we may find healing in Your mercy.
Grant us the strength to surrender our weaknesses. Give us the courage to defeat our fears in the quiet of our hearts. Help us repent with all humility and the grace to follow Your path each day of our lives.
Empower us to live the new life that Your salvation brings, a life that honors You and reflects Your truth and justice, to be worthy of Your Kingdom in the afterlife.
All these we ask in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, Amen.
