LENTEN PRAYERS
WALKING WITH JESUS

Day 7: Wednesday
Mark 1:23-28

Christ Jesus, we rejoice that we have seen your liberating power at work in our lives and in the lives of many other people.  You have shattered the bonds of sin and enabled us to walk in righteousness.  You have broken the shackles of idolatry and enabled radical devotion to God.  You have scattered demonic spirits and enabled us to collect ourselves and experience freedom that is self-controlled but full of exuberance.  You have demolished the fears that gripped and paralyzed us, enabling us to act courageously in the face of many challenges, free of anxiety and at peace in your presence.

As we walk with You, enable us to act in ways that liberate others by bringing them near You, where your word may limit and eventually eliminate every form of spiritual bondage that holds them captive.  

Thank You for allowing us to witness your liberating work that shows the presence of God’s reign.  Thank You for calling us to participate in that work as You give us vision and energy to do so.  Amen.
