Good Morning, God,
To many of us praying today, this is just another Wednesday, another "hump day," another day to look forward to the end of the week, the weekend and what we are gong to do to have fun.
But to many of us who are Christians praying today, this is a special Wednesday. It is the Wednesday that is the beginning to the most important time for our life of faith. This is the beginning of our season of Lent.
For the next 40 days plus Sundays, we will especially be remembering what you did for us through your Son, Jesus Christ. For these 40 days, we will be considering how we follow Jesus' teachings. We will be considering how we live your commandments. We will be asking for guidance, strength and forgiveness from you, Lord God Almighty, through our faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.
At the end of this season of Lent when we celebrate the resurrection of your Son Jesus after his crucifixion, may we have noticeably grown in our faith, our "follower-ship" of Jesus Christ, and our ability to "see you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly, day by day."
In Jesus' name, Amen.
