Consider the Lord and his strength.
Constantly seek his face.
We need to go to any length.
To seek divine grace.

We want to be loved and highly regarded.
We think all we do should be approved of.
This makes us restless and troubled.
If we sought God only and his love.

We would always be content.
And would find all things in him.
A truly engaging thought for lent.
We just ask for our faith not to dim.

Give me the grace not to think of myself.
But of God in himself.

………

Am I approved of
Let me not care about this
And just think of God
