Got the ashes last Wednesday
(or didn't...)
Know what I'm giving up for Lent
(well - kinda)
Praying more each day
(um, not so much)
Setting coin aside to help the poor
(gonna do that!)...
Off to a great start
(is it Lent already?)...
Lord,
it's 5 days into Lent
and we're all in different places...
Some of us have run five laps,
others are still looking for the start line...
Some of us do this really well
and some of us have a hard time with it...
Help us all be modest in our goals
and realistic in our pledges...
Help us make a simple plan for Lent
and - with your help - stick to it...
Help us pause each day for prayer
- if only for five minutes...
Help us fast and go without
- to learn what truly feeds us...
Open up hearts and our wallets,
- to those who need our help...
It's still early
- and it' never too late!
Help us, Lord,
to live and grow this Lent
- with you...
Amen.
