"'Even now,' declares the Lord,
'return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning.
Rend your heart and not your garments.'"
Joel 2:12
O God, our great shepherd, you tenderly gather us as lambs, carrying us with your all embracing love. Yet, like sheep, we wander from you: following our own ways, ignoring your voice, distrusting your provisions.
Forgive our stubborn rebellion, our hardened hearts, our lack of trust.
Forgive us for those things that we have done though we should not and those things we have left undone that we should have done.
Refresh us once again by your quiet waters of mercy and restore our souls by your redeeming love.
Guide our paths that we might follow you more closely.
May your Season of Lent rend your heart back to your creator and Savior.
