First Sunday in Lent: Abba, Father, you sent your son Yeshua
into the desert to fast and pray. Grant
that we would so grow in the discipline of fasting, prayer, and study, that we
would truly grow in knowledge and love of you, that the light of Yeshuah would
truly shine through us. This we ask
through Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh,
one God in glory everlasting. Amen.
February 11: Loving
Saviour, we confess that we can do nothing to earn forgiveness, and we are
grateful that you pardon our sins in mercy and grace in accordance with your
great love. Thank you, Yeshua. Amen. (green)
Shrove Tuesday:
Lord, grant that we should make such a true
confession, that we would truly walk in love and peace with one another that
the light of Yeshua would truly shine through us. This we ask through Yeshua haMoshiach who
lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God, in glory
everlasting. Amen. (purple before

Ash
Wednesday: Almighty and everlasting
God, you hate nothing that you have made, and you forgive the sins of all those
who are penitent. Create and make in us
new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging
our wretchedness, may receive from you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission
and forgiveness of our sins. We make our
prayer through Yeshuah haMoshiach, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. (Readings:
Joel 2:1‑2, 12‑17; Psalm 103; 2 Corinthians 5:20b‑6:10; Matthew 6:1‑6,
16‑21)
Thursday: Blessed Saviour, you were
tempted to turn stones to bread to meet your hunger. Grant that as you turned back Satan’s
temptation through Scripture, that we too would truly learn that man does not
live by bread alone, but by every word which proceeds from the mouth of God. In
your precious name we pray. Amen.
Lord our God, you raised Cyril
and Methodius to proclaim the Gospel in a hostile land and gave them
intellectual gifts to translate, create an alphabet, and teach, so raise up in
this and every land bishops and ministers who are willing to persevere to the
end in proclaiming the Gospel of our Lord Yeshuah haMoshiach. This we ask through Yeshua haMoshiach who
lives and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory
everlasting. Amen. (white)
Friday: Blessed Saviour, Satan tempted you to
proclaim your kingdom through great miracles, yet, you resisted him and
proclaimed the Gospel through suffering.
Help us to remember always that we should never tempt you, but follow
where you led the way. This we pray in
your precious name. Amen.
Saturday: Blessed Saviour, Satan tempted you by
offering all the kingdoms of the world, if you would worship him. Help us to cast off all false gods, that we
too may worship God alone. In your
precious name we pray. Amen.
