Dear Lord,
As we enter this Solemn and Holy

Season, we pray You would send Your
Holy Spirit upon us that we might prepare
ourselves for these coming 40 days of Lent.
Even though we may no longer wear sackcloth and ashes,
we do seek to humble ourselves so that we can understand the
magnificence of Your Love for us as You humbled Yourself
and gave Your Life on the Cross that we might receive
the gift of Eternal Glory with You.

AMEN.
