COLLECT FOR THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT
Heavenly Father,
your Son battled with the powers of darkness, and grew closer to you
in the desert - help us to use these days to grow in wisdom and prayer
that we may witness to your saving love.
In Jesus Christ, our Lord
Amen

PRAYER POINTERS
Please pray for …
God’s help as you embark into Lent
let each of us ‘examine our own heart’ against His revealed purposes
in the Bible and respond accordingly. Pray too for the Lent Meetings that these gatherings will provide a real opportunity to engage with
God and others.
