Lenten Prayer on Ash Wednesday

Might that I accept the
forgiveness of my sins,
the forgiveness that You've
promised to me,
secured for me,
and
given to me through
Your Son Jesus'
death on my behalf.

Might that I come to forgive
myself
and live in Your grace and love.

Thus, even though I
(even though we)
tend to think that
my sins
(our sins)
are bigger and greater
than Jesus' sinless sacrifice on the Cross,

Might that we,
as a community,
spend these 40 days
reflecting on Your actions,
listening to Your words,
and
loving You for all You've done.

Might that we remember
that we are dust
and to dust we shall return.

Amen.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
