Be our way, our truth, our life
Lord Jesus,
desert dweller,
help us now,
at this time of Lent,
to accompany you.
If we have grown soft,
cushioning our lives
with excuses,
expose us to the toughness
of your way.
If we have grown lazy,
cushioning our minds
with easy, thin thoughts,
expose us to the rigour
of your truth.
If we have grown comfortable,
cushioning our living
with satisfaction and success,
expose us to the challenge
of your life.
As we walk,
God, be our way.
As we learn,
God, be our truth
As we grow
God, be our life.
We pray in Jesus’ name. AMEN
