Many: So let us be led by the Spirit, even into uncomfortable places. One: In those forty days, and in that place, Jesus was faced with hunger, doubt, and temptation.

Many: So let us be led by the Spirit on the path to faithfulness and obedience. Amen. Opening Prayer (in unison) - Leslie Olson God of forgiveness, during this Lenten season, enlighten us to walk in truth and love; may we use the freedom your grace has given us to liberate those with burdens too heavy to bear; help us to love others as you love them; and comfort us as we journey with you to the Cross.
