I found this on One Prayer a Day for Holy Week that is part of Creighton University’s Praying Lent site. I’ve been using this throughout Lent, and it’s helping me. This prayer, though, might rank as one of my favorite:
Loving God,
I am just beginning to realize how much you love me.
Your son, Jesus was humble and obedient.
He fulfilled your will for him by becoming human and suffering with us.
I ask you for the desire to become more humble
so that my own life might also bear witness to you.
I want to use the small sufferings I have in this world
to give you glory.
Please, Lord, guide my mind with your truth.
Strengthen my life by the example of Jesus.
Help me to be with Jesus in this week
as he demonstrates again his total love for me.
He died so that I would no longer
be separated from you.
Help me to feel how close you are
and to live in union with you.
Perfect! Thank you!
I love that! Thank you. Have a blessed Holy Week!
Thanks, Sarah!
