Prayer for Lent
Lord as we enter a time of ‘journey’, travelling through the 40 days of Lent toward the cross on Good Friday, and the joy that Easter Day brings, help us to remember as we pray week in and week out, in the words that Jesus taught his disciples;
That your kingdom come, and your will be done.
It’s easy to say the words, far harder to mean them, for they are concerned finally not just with you but with us.
We ask that you help us to understand that your kingdom is not just in the future, but something that begins with us, here and now, so help us to recognise our role in bringing it nearer, through the love we show, the care for others that we display,
Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen
