     Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us another Lenten season. May we not consider this as another ritual,  but understand and feel the pain You endured on our behalf to blot out our sins.
     Lord, we realise that it's a time for inner reflection and examination. It's the season to know the joy of being cleansed by His blood to receive all the good things You have for us in store.
     Lord, may we practice self denial as we walk each day.  Strengthen us by Your Spirit, when we are weak and remove all worldly distractions from our sight.
     Lord, let Your Spirit guide all our pastors and spiritual leaders as they meditate upon Your word to share with us. Prepare our hearts to understand every scripture lesson we are to listen. 
     Lord, let our fasting be true, sincere and acceptable in Your sight. Cleanse us and forgive us.
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Today's promise:
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
 
1 John 1:9
