Prayer for Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is a time for reflection, renewal, and conversion. This day marks the beginning of Lent, a season of repentance and spiritual discipline leading up to Easter. As we remember that we are dust and will return to dust (Genesis 3:19), it is a powerful reminder of the preciousness of life and the importance of living it to the fullest.
Prayer for Ash Wednesday
“For dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19)
But how do we live this joyful and meaningful life that God has called us to? The answer is simple: turning away from our old ways and towards God with a heart full of humility and love. Ash Wednesday is a call to conversion, a call to shake off the dirt of our past and to embrace a new life in Christ.
