O God,
Be with me through the days of Lent.
Help me find ways to move closer to you.
As I pray, help me share deeply and listen well.
As I set aside things, help me focus on what I can share, rather than what I am giving up.
As I give, help me notice the needs around me.
Remind me that your love is endless and empowers me to love, too.
Remind me that these 40 days lead to a great celebration of your victory over death.
A great celebration of your transforming love for the whole world.
Amen.
