Prayers of the People:  Third Sunday in Lent

Father, we have not believed that you are enough for us. 

We have not believed that you will satisfy our hunger. 

When we have lost hope we have turned to what we can get our hands on 

in the moment of our despair. 

We have not trusted your promise that if we delight ourselves in you, 

you will give us the desires of our heart. 

Father forgive us our adultery. 

Have mercy on our hunger. 

By your freely given Spirit renew our hope. 

Instruct our hearts to delight in you who is unseen and 

grant us courage to wait for your good things.

Lord, we wait for You.

Amen
