Prayer for Lent 3
(inspired by Psalm 19, I Corinthians 1:18-25)

Creator God, we listen as the heavens declare your glory,
We seek to likewise sing of your glory.

And yet sometimes our words fall short.
Our very actions cause us to fall on our face.

Lord even if we appear foolish to the world
Let us proclaim Christ crucified.

May we burn with zeal for you,
That we let nothing get in our way of telling others about Jesus

Lord let your presence be in us, around us
breathing new life into us,
so that we may do this work you have called us to

Now let the words of our mouths
and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable to you,
O LORD, our rock and our redeemer.
