Generous God,
Today is Ash Wednesday, the day we began our Lenten journey. We stand before you, O God, in our sinfulness. Help us, we pray, to use these 40 days to rearrange our priorities and values. Many times we walk over our blessings, taking them for granted. We attempt to place you in a corner of our lives. We recite the words of faith: love, peace, reconciliation, and compassion, get the actions these words represent are often absent. May we use this season of lent to get right with You. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.

Of course, we want to keep Randy Conrady in our prayers.
