Final Prayer for Lent

Here we are, again. Grieving, again. Uncertain, again. Fearful, again. Lord, help us to notice you in others, in conversation, in nature, and in ourselves. Help us not to give up or give in. Give us strength to speak truthfully and love deeply. May we always remember that you bring restoration if we allow it and that you are always with us in our sorrows. Forgive us when we forget — which is often.

Amen.

Please take a moment of silence for reflection, meditation, and prayer for those that we have lost to violence and to COVID during Lent and in the last year.
