“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3 v 6)

It is Lent.

I am penitent,

A grace heaven sent.

I acknowledge my sinfulness.

I know this causes distress.

I am genuinely sorry.

In all sincerity of heart

I repent of my wrongs.

I belong to a God of mercy,

The Holy Trinity of love.

Love helps and heals.

Love repeals the wrongs,

Heals the hurts,

Diminishes the slights.

I am given holy insight

As I pray,

Here now, today

At the beginning of Lent.

No longer will life

Be hell bent on self-centredness.

I look to the † of Jesus.

I express sorrow and remorse,

And of course, want to change.

I ask for the blessing of forgiveness,

Seeking this through Jesus.

He is all my righteousness.

I am acquitted of my foolishness

As I look to the †.

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5 v 15)

“I then, as a worker together with Him, plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.” (2 Corinthians 6 v 1)

Let us pray.
