Lent is the season for humility, confession and forgiveness in the Christian faith. It is a cleansing process that helps restore our souls within our bodies through the Holy Spirit. We function better as humans when our souls are cleansed and repaired, forgiven. It is important to begin by humbling our being before God. Getting quiet within and without once a week at least. Daily prayers that open our minds to why problems exist or asking for solutions become clearer. We can see our way better.
The following is part of a prayer from The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers.
Giver of all Good
Streams upon streams of love overflow my path.
Thou hast made me out of nothing,
hast recalled me from a far country,
hast translated me from ignorance to knowledge,
from darkness to light,
from death to life,
from misery to peace,
from folly to wisdom,
from error to truth,
from sin to victory.
Thanks be to thee for my high and holy calling.
