Lord God, during this season of Lent, give us the wisdom to understand what you ask of us and the courage to do your will joyfully. You have called each of us into a loving relationship with you and to have concern for others. Send your Spirit into our hearts that we will do the right thing in the right way. May we, throughout these forty days, become more and more like you. Amen. “See, I am now establishing my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you.” (Genesis 9:8)
