Here’s an Ash Wednesday prayer from Stephen Fearing’s Wild and Precious Life blog.
Ash Wednesday
Prayer
God with whom we walk this Lenten path,
Bless us this day as we begin the long journey to the cross.
Come to this place and remember your covenant with us.
Remember the promise you made with us mere mortals
to remain with us despite our dust.
Shower your Spirit upon us
Bless us this day as we begin the long journey to the cross.
Come to this place and remember your covenant with us.
Remember the promise you made with us mere mortals
to remain with us despite our dust.
Shower your Spirit upon us
for we need direction on this long road ahead.
Care for us, your children, as we weather this winding road,
following the faithful path of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Care for us, your children, as we weather this winding road,
