Here is the start to your readymade Lent 2021 resources. With the chaos of 2020 behind us, we wanted to make this year’s Lenten season as easy as possible. Follow the step-by-step directions below to begin Lent 2021 on the right foot.
The first thing you will want to do is select which Lent 2021 image fits your community best. Click on the image in the gallery below, open the image in a new tab, and then save that image. This will ensure that you have the largest file size possible.
Don’t forget to tag us @worshiptimes or use the hashtag #readymadelent on social media. We’d love to see how you use the materials.

Shrove Tuesday Prayer
Holy God, on this day before the start of Lent, we come before You to repent, to turn around, to turn back to you. We confess our sins so that we are spiritually ready for Ash Wednesday and the next forty days of following You. Some of us may even be preparing our homes by feasting on things we are about to abstain from. Bless our intentions to prepare for Lent, Oh Lord. We want to understand a little more fully the cost of discipleship this Lenten season. Amen.

Ash Wednesday Prayer
Lord Jesus, You held nothing back from us as you came, lived, died, and rose again. This Ash Wednesday, we want to hold nothing back from You. Help us to live our life in light of our death. Teach us the secret of life: to die to ourselves before our earthly death. For in getting the dying out of the way, we can get on with living the abundant life You promised us here and now. Bless our Lenten journey, O Lord, as we try to give alms, pray, and fast in the way You taught us. Amen.
