Prayers for Lent
Matthew 14:29-31
Prayer: Lord, so many times we don’t keep our eye on You and like Peter, we sink. Lord, keep me strong and on course for You. Help me keep focused on You and Your purpose for me. Give me courage to keep trusting in You for all things. In the name of you beloved son, Christ the Lord, Amen. -
