“Keep, O keep us, Savior dear, ever constant by your side, that with you we may appear, at the eternal Eastertide.” Help us, Lord!

Heavenly Father, as we walk with you on your forty-day journey, keep us strong so that we do not fall into sin or temptation, just as you were tempted but did not sin. “And if Satan on us press, our flesh or spirit to assail, make us victors in the wilderness, so as not to faint nor fail!”
