Lenten Prayer

O God our Deliverer, you led your people of old through the wilderness

and brought them to the promised land.

Guide now the people of your church, that, following our Savior,

we may walk through the wilderness of this world

toward the glory of the world to come;

through Jesus Christ our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

One God, now and forever. Amen.
