PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS

DAY 25: WEDNESDAY  Our Father

O God, our Father and Mother, let your image, in which You shaped us at our creation, and which You are restoring as You renovate our lives, day by day, reflect your glory to the world around us—the world You have loved at great cost.

Build the family character into our lives so that we show forth your radiance, your truthfulness, your fidelity, compassion, justice and mercy. Let the forgiveness we have received from You become our daily practice. Let the generous gifts You have given us free us to practice bold generosity.

Forgive us when we are inclined to disown You and leave our heritage in You behind. Forgive us when we look to the far country for our hope instead of drawing close to You.  

Let your Spirit blow freshly through us and generate abundant fruitfulness that honors You.  We sometimes forget, but we are always and only yours. We worship and serve You with gladness. Amen.
