God our Father,
you sent your Spirit to lead your Son Jesus into the desert to be tempted.
Be with us as we begin our journey through Lent.
Help us to see more clearly how we need to change so that we can resist temptation and grow in understanding.
Be with us as we plan our Lenten practices, and give us the resolve to carry them out.
Stir our desire to help the needy.
Help us discover ways to share what we have.
Speak to our hearts as well as our minds, and teach us to pray more sincerely and deeply.
We ask this through our model and teacher, Jesus Christ, the Lord. Amen.
