A Prayer for the First Sunday of Lent

Lord, even when you created for us a Garden… we chose to be disobedient and eat the forbidden fruit. Still today, Lord, we have been your disobedient children and chosen to travel on paths you have warned us are not your ways. Forgive us, Lord, and as we open our hearts before you, show us anew the ways you would have us go. Through Christ our Lord we pray. Amen.
