The Prayer:  A Lenten Devotional
“For God so loved the World that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Amazing words, amazing grace.  When I think on this passage I think of God, the father who was so totally in love with mankind, with you and with me, that he was willing to sacrifice his only beloved son to incomprehensible humiliation and let’s face it, torture, knowing all the time he had the power to stop it; he had but to think the thought and those responsible would be utterly destroyed. But, unlike his stopping Abraham as he lifted up his knife to kill Isaac, he chose, simply, out of pure love for us, to let his son die.  I think, also, when Jesus cried out, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me” it was God, the father, who was so distressed that he could no longer bear to see his son in such pain and suffering, slowly dying.  I cannot imagine a love so immense, so pure and so great for you and for me that nothing could deter him from his plan to redeem mankind.

Let us pray:  Dear Father, what can we do, what can we say to thank you for your amazing love?  Help us, dear Lord, to live our lives to honor and bless you and may we one day, see you face to face. Until that great day help us to honor and bless you and see your face in the face of others and to love others as you have shown us how to love.

Father, in the name of your beloved son, Jesus, our blessed savior, we pray this prayer.

GOD ALONE PRAYER
Lord, For today, in each moment of this day
May I see Your beauty and surrender my will to You alone
Be my vision, my breath, the beating of my heart.

If today I meet poverty, deprivation, or darkness of sin,
May I reflect the richness of Your goodness to the world, and the light of faith.

If today I come across hatred, ugliness or selfishness,
May I introduce Your love, beauty and compassion.

If today I am imprisoned by lies, addiction, or violence,
May I seek freedom in Your truth, serenity, and peace.

If today I encounter rejection, betrayal, or abandonment,
May I embrace Your acceptance, steadfast love, and presence.

If today I know doubt, despair, or death,
May I find hope in my faith and eternal life.

Today, may I be still.
May I have the vision to see You in everyone and everything,
And to reflect Your Beauty, truth, and goodness,
In merciful and humble love.
Amen.
