A Lenten Prayer for
the Day
Scripture: To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. Psalm 25:1
Holy God, my worries are not new to you
You know them
quite well –
even as you
know every aspect of my being
the deep
places too tender to name -
You know
them.
Help me not to fret but to trust –
to rest
to cleave
to receive
your goodness.
This day is my gift; a sign of your love
tomorrow and
all of my tomorrows
are held in
your hands
no one can
pluck them out or take away what have given
help me to
guard them as the treasures they are.
I will lift up my head
for you alone
are my strength
you alone are
my shield; my protection
you alone are
my guide leading me in the right way
you are my
all and all.
And I will praise you, yes, I will praise you
and sing
songs of praise
I will shout
and be glad
I will
declare your glory to all I meet
Thanks be to
you Almighty God.
Prayer: Thanks be
to You!
The Reverend Dr. Cathy Gilliard
