Ancient of Days forgive us for taking lent wrong.
We humble ourselves. We do not afflict ourselves.
Our heads are bowed in reverence not self-flagellation.
Let us choose the fast that looses the bonds of wickedness.
Help us undo heavy burdens. May our fast let the oppressed go free.
Give us an appetite to share our bread with the hungry.
Give us hospitality for the pour outcast.
Teach us generosity to share a shirt.
Let our light break forth like the morning.
Jehovah Rapha let healing spring forth.
Let your glory be our rear guard. Lead us to your passion.
Show us the fellowship of your sufferings.
Bring us the power of your resurrection.
Hear our humble cry O Lord. In Jesus name. Amen
