God of All Time,
We reflect on the events of the past. We experience the present moment, and we ponder what lies ahead. O Lord, You are God of the past, present and future, and we give You thanks. As we look back we can see Your hand in our lives. Today we attempt to discern Your will for us, and tomorrow we hope for Your embrace. Please forgive us, Loving God, when we think we are alone; when we think the outcomes are only up to us; and when we leave You out of the equation. As we continue on our journey through Lent, may we confess our sins and honor You with our trust. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.
