     Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace today.
     Lord, thank You for the assurance that our prayers are answered if we pray without ceasing and continually ask, seek and knock with an undoubting faith. May we also learn to be persistent and serious about our requests we bring before You.
     Lord, may we submit ourselves to Your act of chastening and understand that, it is to teach us Your law from sinning and to make us worthy in Your sight. 
     Lord, may we seek a spiritual renewal and a deeper relationship with You as we embark on another Lenten journey. May we not focus and satisfy ourselves by following the ceremonial aspects of the season but submit ourselves and walk with You, led by Your Holy Spirit.
     Lord, may we be constantly reminded of the cost You paid to blot out our transgressions and not to remember our sins. Cleanse our heart and draw us closer to Your love and grace. 
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
