     Gracious Heavenly Father,  thank You for this blessed day.
     Lord, we seek Your strength and grace, to accept Your call to the Cross ✝️ - a call to self denial.  We thank You for the  life's gracious things and Your supreme sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. 
     Lord, You gave us the identity as Your children. May we own up this identity during this Lenten season of repentance and mercy. Thank You for sending us Your Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the Cross ✝️ for our redemption. 
     Lord, create and make in us a clean and remorseful heart, so that, our sins are blotted out and we receive a perfect absolution.
     Lord, hear our petitions and pour down Your mercy in abundance, so that we are healed in body and in soul. May we persevere unfailingly; with confidence and extol Your exalted and blessed Name. 
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Today's promise:
But He was pierced....crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the ...peace, and with His wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
