Prayer for the Second Week of Lent

God of Names,
old and new...

God of Peoples,
old and new...

God of Promises,
old and new...

We turn away this season:
from all pride that would own You,
from all lies that would fear You,
from all burdens that would blame You.

We turn for You this season:
from our isolation we turn toward others,
from our chaos we turn to inward calm,
from our crosses of shame we turn toward glory.

We hope against hope...

Promising, Peopling, Naming!
