PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS

DAY 8: THURSDAY

Holy and Loving God, deliver us from evil!  Do not allow our minds and hearts to be bent and shaped for evil.  Do not let us plunge headlong to our own destruction.  Do not let us succumb in either apathy or despair. 

Liberate us from the control of both personal and systemic powers that would ensnare and enslave us and diminish our lives as well as the lives of our neighbors.

Enable us to trust in You in every situation.  Enable us to call upon You and cling to You when our lives seem to be engulfed in evil that has been thrust upon us against our will.  

We know that through Christ Jesus You have defeated all the powers of sin and death.  Enable us to hold that truth, in hope, as we resist every form of evil.  Amen.
