Prayer for Lent

The Lenten Season is a chance for all Christians to commit to making efforts and sacrifices to deepen our faith and our understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice for us. The Church focuses on the works of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer during this season in an attempt to replicate Jesus’ works on earth. During this time, we remember the ultimate sacrifice Jesus endured for us on the cross nearly 2,000 years ago.

Here are a few great resources for anyone looking to learn more about the season of Lent:

It is natural for all of us to struggle with sacrifices we make in or life or even seeking and growing closer to God. The prayer below was written with the hope of giving strength and guidance to all of its readers during this Lenten journey. I pray that this prayer helps you to seek God in a deeper and more meaningful way as we prepare to celebrate Easter!

Prayer For Lent

Dear Jesus,

During this season of Lent, 
let me remember all that you have done for me. 
Help me to reflect upon the ultimate sacrifice and pain 
that you went through for us. 
As I make a few of my own sacrifices, 
help me to stay strong and committed to this Lenten journey 
and use my efforts as an opportunity to deepen my relationship with you. 
In moments where I struggle, 
remind me of the incomparable sacrifice and struggles that you endured. 
Guide my heart and mind to stay focused on your love and glory.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
