Lent Prayer

A Lent Prayer

Lord, it is Lent. Lent is for stillness. Let us be still in the presence of God.

It is Lent after a long year. What has been done has been done; what has not been done has not been done; let it be.

Lent is dark. Let our fears of the darkness of the world and of our own lives rest in you.

Lent is quiet. Let the quietness of your peace enfold us, all dear to us, and all who have no peace.

Lent heralds the dawn. Let us look expectantly to a new day, new joys, new possibilities.

In your name we pray. Amen.
