Third Sunday in Lent

Psalm 57 (New International Reader's Version)
1 Show me your favor, God. Show me your favor. I go to you for safety. I will find safety in the shadow of your wings. There I will stay until the danger is gone. 2 I cry out to God Most High. I cry out to God, and he carries out his plan for me. 3 He answers from heaven and saves me. He puts to shame those who chase me. Selah He shows me his love and his truth. 4 Men who are like lions are all around me. I am lying down among hungry animals. Their teeth are like spears and arrows. Their tongues are like sharp swords. 5 God, may you be honored above the heavens. Let your glory be over the whole earth. 6 My enemies spread a net to catch me by the feet. I felt helpless. They dug a pit in my path. But they fell into it themselves. Selah
7 God, my heart feels secure. My heart feels secure. I will sing and make music to you. 8 My spirit, wake up! Harp and lyre, wake up! I want to sing and make music before the sun rises. 9 Lord, I will praise you among the nations. I will sing about you among the people of the earth. 10 Great is your love. It reaches to the heavens. Your truth reaches to the skies. 11 God, may you be honored above the heavens. Let your glory be over the whole earth.

Prayer of Susanna Wesley
Preserve me from all those snares and temptations which continually solicit me to offend Thee. Guide me by Thy Holy Spirit in all those places whither Thy Providence shall lead me this day, and suffer not my communications with the world to dissipate my thoughts, to make me inadvertent to Thy presence or luke warm in Thy service.
But let me always walk as in Thy sight, and as one who knows this life to be the seed-time of an eternal harvest. Amen.
