My Lenten Prayer: Dear Lord, as I make my Lenten journey with you, send me your Spirit. Help me to give of myself, and help me to turn away from sin. Help me to fast and pray so that I may know you, and serve you in a better way. Let me be renewed through my journey to share grace with the world. Amen
