God of goodness and mercy,
Hear my prayer as i begin this Lenten journey with you.
Let me be honest with myself as i look into my heart and soul,
noticing the times I turn away from you.
Guide me as I humbly seek to repent and return to your love.
May humility guide my efforts to be reconciled with you and live forever in your
abundant grace.
Transform me this Lent, heavenly Father. Give me the strength to commit myself
to grow closer to you each day
Amen.
