Throughout Lent we will have a special prayer for each day – students will pray this together after mass and families can add it to their daily family prayer routine!
March 28th – Prayer for Courage
“God, following you wholeheartedly definitely isn’t
always easy. Please give me the courage to follow you
anyway. Even when it’s difficult, when my friends and
family don’t understand, and I don’t see where you are
leading me. Please give me the courage to be ALL IN.”
March 29th – Prayer for Purpose
“God, I truly desire to fulfill YOUR purpose for me in this
life, but sometimes I struggle to know or understand
what that is. Please fill me with a sense of purpose that
comes from You alone. Please show me what you want
me to do, and give me the strength and motivation to
walk it out.”
March 30th – Prayer for Transformation
“God, I don’t want to just do a few good things for
You. I want to be a brand new creation. Please
transform my life God. Please transform me from
the inside out and make me more like You.”
March 31st – Prayer for Your Parents
“God, thank you for my parents. Please draw them close
to yourself today. Give them peace, joy, strength and
wisdom in decision making. Help them to know You,
love You and want to serve You more.”
April 1st – Prayer for Friends
“God, please be especially close to (specific friend
or friends) today. Help them to know You, love You
and serve You. Help them resist any temptations
they may face today, and bring them through any
struggles they may currently be dealing with,
including any hidden struggles I know nothing
about. Please help me to be a positive influence
and encouragement in their life, as I draw near to
you and inspire and encourage them to do the
same.”
