LENTEN PRAYERS
WALKING WITH JESUS

Day 20: Thursday
Mark 4:21-25

Jesus our Teacher, we rejoice that as we walk with You, You expose us to the truth.  You show us who God is.  You show us God’s nearness.  You show us God’s desire to reign over and heal all of creation.  

You also reveal the truth about us and who we are in relationship to God, to each other, and to creation.  All that we would suppress or hide, you expose to light.  You uncover our pride and our sins and offer forgiveness.  You see our wounds and offer healing.  You reveal our gifts and enable our worship, witness and service.  You give us clarity about the needs of our neighbors so that we may act with compassion.  

We rejoice in You!  And we ask that You will give us a deeper measure of understanding, wisdom and compassion, so that we may give as You have given with deepening gladness.  We do not seek more things.  We do not wish to accumulate thrills.  We seek more of You and more of your light, so that as we walk with You others will see You more clearly.  Amen.
