My Daily Meditation for Lent 

I know there is a purpose for my life;

I pray for understanding of my place in the world 

and what purpose I will serve in it.

I know I have been given many gifts;

I pray for wisdom in knowing how to use them. 

I pray to understand how these gifts may change in time 

and to discover those gifts I have yet to know.

I know I am loved and that I am capable of loving others;

I pray for courage to show love and act in loving ways, 

especially when I feel otherwise and it is hard.

I know I have worth and am worthy;

I pray that I not feel entitled for what is not rightfully 

given or earned.

I know I am blessed;

I pray that I come to understand all of the blessings in my life, 

from whom they are given, and their purpose for me.

I know “God’s time” and “my time” are different;

I pray for patience when they don’t match as I think they should. 

I pray to remember things will resolve when it is the right time.

In God’s time, when I am worthy, when I am loving, when 

blessings and gifts are known, and when my purpose is revealed.
