Prayer for Lent: Letting Go
O God, help
us to use this season of Lent
to examine
our attachments,
and to
sense where You invite us
to live
more simply and deeply.
Shine the
light of Your love
into the
private corners of our lives
where we
have acquired so much clutter
that it has
begun to restrict our freedom.
Grant us
the strength to free ourselves
from
appetites and needs that drive us
into
taking, having and wanting
more than
we need or have time for.
Teach us
that in letting go
we become
free, rather than deprived,
generous rather
than covetous,
and
spacious rather than restricted.
We offer
You our Lenten observance,
and today
we place our feet
on the road
to Easter, and walk
the Way that You have walked before us. Amen.
