Help me, O God, to use this Lenten season fully. May I take the time for reflection on who I am currently and who you are calling me to become. Let me be comfortable in admitting my shortcomings and mistakes so that I may learn from them and not repeat myself. Give me the strength and commitment to make changes in the habits that have become a part of the stumbling blocks in my way of running the race that you have set before me. May my focus be unwavering as I attempt to live fully into my call to live others and you love me. Let this day be seminal in the changes I am attempting in my life. Give me the peace and comfort that comes from your presence now and always. Amen
