“Lent is a season of preparation and repentance during which we anticipate the death (Good Friday) and resurrection (Easter Sunday) of Jesus. It is this very preparation and repentance – aimed at grasping the intense significance of the crucifixion – that gives us a deep and powerful longing for the resurrection, the joy of Easter.” – Will Walker
As we walk through this season of Lent together as a church family, I will be posting a simple daily prayer of confession for you to use as a prompt for your own prayers of confession. The spiritual practice of daily confession of sin is a vital one for me. I hope these daily posts can help you form a similar practice of forsaking sin and embracing Christ’s mercy that is far, far greater than our sins!
Day 15
God of mercy, you are full of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, richin mercy, and always ready to forgive. Grant us grace to renounce all evil andto cling to Christ, that in every way we may prove to be your loving children,through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the HolySpirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
