Author Insight
Do you observe Lent?
I wasn't raised observing the Christian calendar, and particularly the season of Lent. But I've come to see the value of it as I prepare myself to increase my awareness of why Good Friday was necessary. I am broken. I'm so broken, I don't even know how broken I am. In these prayers, I've tried to address a variety of "sins" I need to confess. Of course, it is up to each individual to confess, repent, and change. May God have mercy on each of us who seek to be more like our Lord.
Book Excerpt
Prayers of Confession for Lent
Community
LORD, you have placed us in communities. Sometimes we get along with our neighbors, and sometimes we don’t.
However, you will judge us on how we reach out to others, whether we feed the hungry,
help the sick,
offer hospitality to the stranger, or turn away.
When we have done these things for our neighbors,
you consider that we did them to you.
Forgive us
for the times we have opted to keep to ourselves and not reached out to those around us.
Help us to be more intentional and open to being a blessing to those in our communities.
LORD, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Based on Matthew 25:35-40
