Lenten Worship, March 3

Holy God, heavenly Father, in the waters of the flood you saved the chosen, and in the wilderness of temptation you protected your Son from sin. Renew us in the gift of baptism. May your holy angels be with us, that the wicked foe may have no power over us. Amen.

Psalm 145:8
8The LORD is gracious and full of compassion,
  slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
