LENTEN PRAYERS 2018: PRAYING THE DAILY GOSPEL
FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT
John 12:44-50
Jesus, Living Image of God, we rejoice in You and plead that You will
enable us to believe more confidently in You, and the One who sent You, the One
with whom You are in complete unity. Fortify our belief even when we are deeply
uncertain about our own worthiness and our ability to trust You.
Jesus, Living Lamp, shine through the night. Shine through the mist and
fog of our confusion and enable us to move through the world with confidence in
your guidance. As our lives are brightened by You, enable us to shine as lights
in the world, enacting your truth and your love in the myriad encounters of our
days.
Jesus, Patient Teacher, help us keep our ears open to your words. Give
us discernment for obedience that is full of compassion. Since You do not speak
judgment against us, prevent us from speaking judgment upon others.
In the end, let our actions become more and more consistent with your
instruction and with the faith that we claim. Keep us close, so that we may
walk with You in the way of enduring life. Amen.
