Daily Lent Prayer
"Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth shall declare your praise.

Let us pray for confidence in the love of God and the strength to overcome all our weakness. Father,
you have taught us to overcome our sins
by prayer, fasting and works of mercy.
When we are discouraged by our weakness,
give us confidence in your love.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
