     Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for all Your goodness and for adding another day to our lives.
     Lord, help us to hear You speak to us, in our heart of hearts, as that still small voice, amidst the turbulent situation, and give us direction, and peace, and hope.
     Lord, may we decrease in every aspect of our life. We entrust all our situations and circumstances into Your gracious hands, so that You may increase. 
     Lord, use us according to Your will, for Your wider plans and purposes, and develop in us an understanding heart and a listening ear to hear all You have to say to us.
     Lord, we are often more willing to accept forgiveness from others, than to forgive. And we are more willing to accept Your love, than to share it with those who hurt us. Pardon us for this shortcoming. 
     Lord, let this season of Lent bring in the change in us that will be pleasing in Your sight. Fill us with the spirit of chastity, humility and patience. 
     Lord, help us to hold fast our confession of hope till the end. Our faith is in You. In You do we put our trust.
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
