Praying Lent

I really do love this website. The link is on the right side of my blog about half way down. They have scripture readings and prayers for everyday of Lent. This is todays closing prayer:

God of Love,
through this Lenten journey,
purify my desires to serve you.
Free me from any temptations to judge others,
to place myself above others.
Please let me surrender even my impatience with others,
that with your love and your grace,
I might be less and less absorbed with myself,
and more and more full of the desire
to follow you, in laying down my life
according to your example.


Today was an extremely imperfect and self absorbed day so these words really hit home.
