Lent is a season of reflection use this daily way to spend time growing closer to God. You can download the whole 40 day’s of Beardedness for free (Here)!

The 40 Days of Beardedness is for you to use as a liturgical journey through Lent.  This journey starts with an opening prayer from the Psalms, Scripture readings through the book of Proverbs and a few Psalms, Lenten inspired hymns, and a closing prayer by Saints, Historical Leaders, and a Pastor Poet.  We do not guarantee that you will have a better beard by Easter but our hope and prayer is that your relationship with God, People, and yourself are stronger and deeper than ever.

Opening Prayer

Lord, my heart isn’t proud; my eyes aren’t conceited.

I don’t get involved with things too great or wonderful for me.

No. But I have calmed and quieted myself like a weaned child on its mother;

I’m like the weaned child that is with me. Israel, wait for the Lord—

from now until forever from now! Amen. Psalm 131

Scripture Reading Psalm 119

Hymn“Let Us Pray To The Lord”

Lord, have mercy.

Christ, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

 

Closing Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer

Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,  as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
