This post is a continuation of a series for those who, like me, would like to engage the season of Lent in a meaningful way, but who, like me, also benefit from the encouragement of others while we do that. Â We all realize that the blogosphere cannot grant us the true community that Christ taught us to live in. Â But it does afford us the opportunity to learn together, to share our thoughts and experiences, and then take those into our day to day lives.
Here is today’s prayer.
“LORD OF ALL LIFE, we come before you not knowing who we are. Â We strut our stuff, trying to impress others with our self-confidence. In the process we hope to be what we pretend. Save us fro such pretense, that we might lean who we are through trust in you to make us more than we can imagine. Â Help us, Augustine-like, to reread our lives as confessions of sin made possible by your live. Â Bind up our wounds and our joys so that our lives finally make sense only as a prayer to you. AMEN.”
Peace, Jim
