Desiring the Kingdom

Reading Tim Gombis's post about desiring the Kingdom reminded me of my sin and selfishness. I want to desire the Kingdom for the right reasons, which include servant-hood and restoration.

Lenten Prayer
Lord, forgive me for my desire for comfort and ease. Forgive me for grasping my possessions. Help me to have a generous, loving heart, one that willingly shares and gives up for others. Strengthen me for the long obedience to which you have called me. Clear my mind of the clutter that obscures my view of you and your kingdom. Help me to live sacramentally. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, amen.
