Our brains are amazing and our minds work faster than supercomputers. Think for a minute about how quickly we have an answer in our minds when somebody says something we dislike. We are usually quick to form a response! If you are in a full season of life right now, it might be hard to pray as much as you like or have a regular prayer time. Rather than beat yourself up, try to keep a few of these lightening prayers on hand to help lift your heart to God:
God, may my sacrifice of today remind me of my dependence on You for all the blessings I enjoy. Amen.
Heavenly Father, I’m truly sorry for the moments today where I missed the mark. I ask for your forgiveness and the strength to better follow Your call tomorrow. Amen.
God, I lift up (name of the person you’d like to pray for) today. I ask that you bless them abundantly today and throughout Lent. Amen.
Oh Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything. Amen.
