Reflection

During this season of Lent you may choose to make this a daily prayer:

Loving Father,
Here I am.
I trust that you have an incredible plan for me.
Transform me. Transform my life.
Everything is on the table.
Take what you want to take and give what you want to give.
Transform me into the person you created me to be,
so I can live the life you envision for me.
I hold nothing back;
I am 100 percent available.
How can I help?
Amen.

 

Prayer taken from Chapter 22 of Matthew Kelly’s new bestseller Rediscover Jesus.
