Lenten Prayer

Lenten Prayer

These sins, Lord, they seep out of every inch of me -

great pride and small faith,

ignorance and blasphemy-

Living mostly as if

You don’t exist,

I seek other

gods.

My sins mound together, impossibly large.

I fear there is nothing to be done.

The devil is here, too.

He squats and sneers,

points a crooked

finger and

laughs.

But Your Light of Truth cracks the darkness,

shining higher than my mountain of sin.

And I remember there is hope –

You have not left me

nor forsaken me

as I have You.

There is a Savior –

Hallelujah!
