LORD God, the LORD Almighty, hear my prayer this evening.

As I lay myself and this world before you
Confessing my failures of this day
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Bible Verse for the Week and Sunday Reflection

And Jesus said:
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

Pray your own prayer of praise and thanks.

Good and majestic One,
Creator God,
Great and so worthy of praise.
We bow before You.
We lay our lives before You.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer

Dear Lord,
Some of us come to the season of Lent
with an attitude or practice of self denial
to remind us of your 40 days fasting in the desert.
Whether or not we each do this,
please help us all to use this time
to prayerfully examine our way of life and our commitment to You.
Amen

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 2
Reflect on all that is said here in this particular passage and then Pray in response to this God

O LORD, our Great God,
Hear our evening prayers of praise we ask
As we thank you for what we read
As we look back over our day
As we look ahead to tomorrow
As we call out to you for our world
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
