Bless our Lenten Journey

Good and gracious God, thank you for your steadfast love displayed in your covenant with Noah and Abraham and Moses and finally with us as fulfilled in the cross!  Such sacrificial love humbles us, but also challenges us to be more sacrificial in our expressions of love to one another.  Bless this Lenten Journey which leads us through Good Friday to Easter Sundauy.  May we find in these days of contemplation an understanding of how wonderful the covenant you have made with your people really is!  May that realization overcome our fears and give us perseverance and hope in times of adversity.  We pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, Our Savior.  Amen.
