Lent Prayers
As we journey through Lent, we invite you to join us in a time of reflection, prayer, and preparation for the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. Each week, we will focus on a different theme, drawing us closer to God through repentance, surrender, compassion, gratitude, healing, strength, and anticipation. You are welcome to pray in your own words or follow along with our guided prayers as we seek to grow in faith and deepen our relationship with Jesus. May this season be a time of renewal and transformation for us all.
Week of March 3: Ash Wednesday – Prayer of Repentance and Humility Week
Heavenly Father,
As we enter this sacred season of Lent, we come before You with humble hearts. We confess our sins and acknowledge our need for Your mercy. Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within us. May this time of reflection draw us closer to You, shaping us to be more like Christ. Teach us to walk in humility, relying not on our own strength but on Your grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Week of March 10: Prayer of Surrender Week
Lord,
I lay down my plans, my worries, and my desires at Your feet. Teach me to trust in You completely, knowing that Your ways are higher than mine. Help me to surrender not just in words but in action, choosing Your will over my own. As Jesus surrendered to the Father’s will, may I also live in obedience and faith. Fill me with Your peace as I rest in the certainty of Your love. Amen.
Week of March 17: Prayer of Compassion Week
Jesus,
You looked upon the hurting with love, reaching out to the broken and the lost. Fill my heart with the same compassion that moved You. Open my eyes to see those in need, and give me the courage to act in kindness and love. May my hands be an extension of Your grace, and my words be a source of encouragement. Let Your love shine through me in every interaction. Amen.
Week of March 24: Prayer of Gratitude Week
Gracious God,
Thank You for the countless blessings You pour into my life each day. Even in times of struggle, I choose to be grateful, knowing that You are always at work for my good. Help me to recognize Your presence in every moment, to rejoice in both the big and small gifts, and to cultivate a heart of thanksgiving. May my gratitude overflow in worship and generosity. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Week of March 31: Prayer of Healing Week
Father,
You are the God who heals—body, mind, and soul. I bring my wounds before You, trusting in Your power to restore and renew. Heal the broken places in my life and in the lives of those I love. Where there is pain, bring comfort. Where there is sickness, bring health. And where there is sorrow, bring peace. May I rest in the truth that Your love is greater than any affliction. Amen.
Week of April 7: Prayer of Strength Week
Mighty God,
Lent reminds me of my need for Your strength. When I feel weak, remind me that You are my refuge. When I am weary, lift me up and renew my spirit. Give me endurance to walk this journey of faith, even when the path is difficult. Let my strength come not from my own efforts but from abiding in You. I trust that You will carry me through every challenge. Amen.
Week of April 14: Holy Saturday - Prayer of Anticipation and Renewal
Lord,
On this day of waiting, I reflect on the hope that is found in You. Just as the disciples waited in uncertainty, I, too, wait with faith, knowing that Your promises are true. Prepare my heart for the joy of resurrection morning. Renew my spirit, and remind me that no darkness lasts forever. Your light will always shine. I anticipate the victory of Easter, knowing that in You, all things are made new. Amen.
