God of all people, God of all creation, God revealed in Jesus, we come to you asking you for help to expand and open our narrow hearts in this season of Lent. Show us a way of salvation for all people, teach us how to build a world that cares for the sick and the outsider and not just for the seemingly healthy. Help us not to see your message as in competition with other Christians or other religions, but one that can build bridges to all of your children while nurturing our hearts and minds. Draw us close to you in this season of humility. Amen.
