Lenten Prayer  My Psalm 334 Glory  March 19, 2018

Dear Lord and Heavenly Father

I rejoice that one day this mortal life will end

And You have promised I will live with You in Glory.

I love mystery, and You tell us

No eye has seen, no ear has heard

What You have prepared for us.

If the glory of Your heavens,

And the beauty of every detail of creation

Is a clue to that final revelation,

We will bow…..

Lenten Prayer  My Psalm 332  Hope  March 16, 2018

Almighty God, Merciful Father, Creator of all,

With joy we praise Your Name this day.

When we were lost, sinful, disobedient,

You come to us patiently forgiving us repeatedly

When we follow our own will, neglecting…..

Lenten Prayer  My Psalm 326  Trials

Dear Heavenly Father, Creator,, yet Abba, Father,

Your rich blessings fall on me

Like the thunderous showers

You drench me with Your love,

You saturate me with Your Presence

Whenever I call on Your Blessed Name.

From the desert of nonchalance,

You raise me to remembrance

Of noticing the big things, the little things,

And treating both with Thanksgiving.

You place in my life members of Your cloud of witnesses

Who nourish…..

O Lord of the Universe,

I come with humble heart before Your throne,

Knowing that in Your mercy, You hear my pleas,

Prepare my paths, provide for my every need.

And pronounced them good

And I echo that,

Admiring the light that shines by night

And the sun that warms the day.

I thank you for Jesus, the Light of the World

Our Father Who art in heaven,

We bless You today for giving us forgiveness

Through the immense work of Your Son,
