Daily Prayer - Ash Wednesday

Good Wednesday morning, my friends.
 
To day is Ash Wednesday - the beginning of Lent.  Lent is a time for fasting, for "giving up" some luxury we enjoy.  How about we give up some of our bad attitudes as well? 
 
As you pray through this list pay attention to how the Holy Spirit nudges you on one or more.
 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
 

Grant, Lord, that during this season of Lent, I may
fast from discontent and feast on gratitude;
fast from anger and feast on patience;
fast from bitterness and feast on forgiveness;
fast from self-concern and feast on compassion;
fast from discouragement and feast on hope;
fast from laziness and feast on commitment;
fast from complaining and feast on acceptance;
fast from lust and feast on respect;
fast from prejudice and feast on understanding;
fast from resentment and feast on reconciliation;
fast from lies and feast on the truth;
fast from wasted time and feast on honest work;
fast from grimness and feast on joy;
fast from suspicion and feast on trust;
fast from idle talk and feast on prayer and silence;
fast from guilt and feast on the mercy of God.
