Here’s a little prayer from my book The Little Book of Lent Prayers, reminding us that Lent calls us to pause, ponder and take stock, not only of our lives but equally of our discipleship.
Forgive me, Lord,
for I’m always in a hurry,
rushing from one thing to the next
as though each moment may be my last.
Teach me to slow down,
before it proves to be so.
Amen.
