Lenten Prayer: Sufficient God
Sufficient God,
you have washed us in the waters of baptism
and fed us the bread of life,
keep us constant in prayer for others,
committed in turning away from self-indulgence,
faithful in caring for the poor, the hungry, the stranger.
Lead us through the next forty days
to the joys which are treasures forever,
death overthrown, life renewed
through Jesus Christ, our crucified and risen Lord. Amen.
— from an
Ash Wednesday 2011 Fast for Life service of worship by the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance.
