Prayer for Lent

As I was praying today at our Prayer Wall in the foyer, I thought of sharing one of the prayers that was posted there anonymously.  It seems especially suitable for this season of Lent as we remember all that Jesus sacrificed:  

Lord, help me to give up those things that I depend on more than you.  Free me from things that are not good for me and stand in the way of my relationship with you.
