Daily Lenten Prayer
Today, Lord, I choose life,
I choose Your love and the challenge to live it and share it,
I choose faith, accepting You as Lord and God,
I choose to let go of my burdens,
Day by day, handing them over to You.
I choose to take hold of Your strength and power
Ever more deeply in my life.
May I come to Easter with a heart open to dying with You
And rising to new life, day by day. Amen.
