Lenten Psalm of Longing
  
Come, O Life-giving Creator,
and rattle the door latch of our slumbering hearts.
Awaken us as you breathe upon a winter-wrapped earth,
gently calling to life lovely Spring.
  
Awaken in these fortified days of Lenten prayer and discipline
our dreams and hopes of holiness.
Call us forth from our numerous past defeats
and narrow patterns of being
to make our ordinary life extraordinarily Alive
through the strength of our enduring love.
  
Show us during these Lenten days
how to take the daily things of life
and by submerging them in the sacred
to infuse them with a great love
for you, O God, and for others.
  
Loving God, help us not to waste
these precious Lenten days;
our spiritual springtime.
Amen.
