God of Healing, in the wilderness when your people were beset by snakes you told your servant Moses to lift up a bronze snake on a pole that all who gazed upon it might be healed. In this season of Lent we remember how your Son was lifted that all who gazed upon him might know life. Heal us, body and soul, to do your will in this world, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Almighty God, in the wilderness you led your people first by cloud and flame then by the law spoken to Moses. Guide us in our wilderness journeys when we have lost our way. Let us bow our spirits to your holy law and will that we may know the joys of your promises, through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

What does the Lord require of you?
It is Lent again, and we feel we ought to do something.
What does the Lord require of you?
Perhaps I should give up eating meat, or watching television.
What does the Lord require of you?
Maybe I should exercise more, or spend more time with my family.
What does the Lord require of you?
I know, I'll start reading the Bible every day.
Listen! Rend your hearts and not your clothing.
The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart God will not despise.
