Vestry Prayer for Lent 1 year C

Father God, on this first Sunday in Lent as we consider your time of preparation and temptation help us to see how important that period was for you.
As we enter this period of Lent and begin to think about the meaning of your Son's death and resurrection help us to teach and reflect it through the way we live.
Help us in our worship today and bless your servant who has come to lead our worship and share your word with us.
We ask all these things in the name of your Son our Lord.
Amen.
