Description: #Spiritualjourney #ashwednesdayprayer Ash Wednesday Prayer Almighty and Merciful God, Ash Wednesday marks the first day of the Holy season of Lent. Today begins a period of inner reflection and meditation. Watch over us with tender love, as we celebrate Ash Wednesday today. The ashes on our foreheads, in the sign of a cross - reminds us that there is a part of ourselves that is of this earth, and that one day we will return to dust. Be with us, Lord and look upon us as we begin this Holy season of 40 days, bearing the mark of ashes, and bless our journey, through the desert of Lent. Gracious Lord, as we enter this solemn and Holy season, we pray that You would send Your Holy Spirit upon us, that we might prepare ourselves for this sacred season. Let this Holy Lenten season be a time of reflection of ourselves and a time of renewal of our faith in You. By self examination, prayer and fasting, allow us to repent for the sins we have committed. Help us to be aware of the needs of others and of our church. Grant that these ashes, remind us of our own mortality and the realisation that only through You we can receive everlasting life. You humbled yourself and gave your life for us on the cross, Lord Jesus, that we might receive the gift of Eternal glory. Help us to also humble ourselves so that we can understand the magnificence of Your love for us. Let these weeks leading upto Good Friday, and the glory of Your resurrection, show us how much you have suffered for us and how much You love us. Help us, by your Holy Spirit, to feel right conviction and repentance for our sins. Help us to let go of all acts of wickedness, false attachments, pride, greed and anger. We need you, Loving Father. We need your cleansing, your forgiveness. We need your presence and your love. We need your mercy and compassion. Loving God, during this sacred season of Lent, bring us closer to You. Prepare a place in our home and heart for silence and solitude, so that we may rediscover the grace of a Prayer-full life. Help us to fast from those things that threaten the wellbeing of our body and soul. Help our hearts to be kind, so that we give freely to those in need, and in doing so, rediscover the grace of gratitude and generosity. May this Lenten season be a grace filled time to rekindle our love and faith in you. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
