“Search me, God, and know my heart, test me and know…” Psalm 139:23
Dear God,
I confess I may not completely understand the “how” and “why” of Lent. I ask you to speak to me now. Here, in the quiet aloneness of my time with you, search me for any selfish motives or sins that I cling to that are sapping me of the life you desire. Prepare my heart for what you would have me forego, and strengthen me to seek you instead. Show me what it is that I can live more fully without. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
