Read: Luke 22:39-46

PREPARE YE

TODAY: This is the beginning of Lent, a time for contemplation and renewal. Spend time today composing your Lenten prayer, a prayer for strength, guidance and revival.

Is this hell?
Emptiness within emptiness
parched by fear
seared by
the irons of sin
branded into fiery isolation.
I have known
bathed in the Jordan
flown with the dove.
Why did you bring me here?
You have known
your worldly desert
barren but for your
own desires.
Cooled by the waters
touched by the wing
of your own understanding.
Return to my Eden
brand my words unto your heart.
Prepare Ye.
