LENTEN MORNING PRAYER CREED

Father, I thank you for this day.
I know, in faith, that You are delighted that I exist
and I know that the most important reality of my life
is that You love me and that You look at me, this moment,
with such tenderness and love as no one ever could.
I know I am Your only child.
Whatever was my past, you desire to forgive me
and heal me when I want healing… I know it is forgiven.
You give me a brand new beginning this day with a future full of hope.
With You now, I spend a moment to look over what I think might be facing me today.
There are things that will be unpleasant but I know You will be there with me as my best friend, consoling, helping, healing, strengthening and guiding me.
There is absolutely nothing I have to be afraid of.
All this I know Father, because Your Son has told us so.
Amen
