Lenten Prayer

For The Times ...

For the times ...When I have not taken You seriously God; ignored your love and avoided speaking to you in prayer,

Please forgive me Lord, I am sorry

For the times ...When I have caused others to suffer or feel bad about themselves,

Please forgive me Lord, I am sorry

For the times ...

When I have not been a friend or jumped on the bandwagon of ridicule,

Please forgive me Lord, I am sorry

For the times ...When I have been selfish and thought only of my own needs,

Please forgive me Lord, I am sorry

For the times

When I have been lazy, dishonest or without love in my home, school or community,

Please forgive me Lord, I am sorry

For the times

When I have refused to forgive others as you forgive me,

Please forgive me Lord, I am sorry

Generous God,You can see deep into our hearts, You know us.We come here before you united as one community.Help us to recognise the need for truth in our lives and to forgive ourselves as you forgive us.

Amen
