My Lord, and my God how I love Thee! I give You my entire being, Amen and Amen.
"I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands. I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Answer me quickly, O Lord. My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul."
Psalm 143:5-8 (ESV)

Heavenly Father, in this Lenten season, grant me the grace to be submissive to Your holy will. Joseph and Mary are inspirational examples of not my will but Your will be done. Thank You, Father, for the example that Joseph is for us today. Teach me to respond with the same obedience and faithfulness. May my yes to Your will today be something that inspires future generations, in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Lord, , I thank You for being a God of love and mercy! In You there is no desire for revenge, hatred or pleasure in seeing me punished. I know You want to forgive, heal, restore and show me Your endless mercy. Help me Lord to choose to do the same for my loved ones, neighbors and coworkers so that I can truly experience the freedom that comes from extending and receiving love and mercy. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
"Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love; according to Your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin."

O God, , my Creator and Redeemer, help me this Lent to grow in awareness and appreciation of Your love for me. Open my eyes to see You in all the joys, disappointments, sorrows, pain and bitter circumstances of my life. Help me recognize Your unending love and abiding presence as I daily meditate on Your passion. I adore You as I give you thanks and praise in Jesus name. Amen.
"Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and relents from punishing."

Precious Jesus, , it is in You that we find the oil of joy, it is to You we give our spirit of heaviness, it is You we praise, it is You we want to glorify. We give you our hearts, the very depths of our soul, the valleys and the dry deserts and we ask You to give us beauty for ashes that Your name may be exalted in all the earth. Amen.
"To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."
Isaiah 61:3 (NKJ)
