A prayer
Gracious and Compassionate God,
As we journey through our time of Lent
Our time in deserts and low places
Our time on the mountains and high places
We continue to seek you.
We need you more than ever
in our busyness
our loneliness
our sadness
our depression
our anger
our happiness
our joy
our excitement
We need
your presence
your compassion
your grace
your comfort
your renewal
your healing
your peace
your joy
your love
your salvation
Lord, we are
reminded that
all this is embodied
in your son Jesus
in his life
his death
and his resurrection
and that all
this was freely given
that we may have
abundant life
eternal life
fullness of life
freed lives
loved lives
loving lives
grace giving lives
Come Lord
pour your mercy and grace and love and salvation over us
And for these gifts from you we are grateful.
Amen.
