PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 15: FRIDAY
Lead Us Not into Temptation
Wise and Tender God, we trust in your
daily leadership. We thank You for leading us to nourishment and rest. We thank
You for accompanying us through the difficulties and dangers of life and
enabling us to walk without fear even when death casts its shadow upon us. We
thank You for guiding us in the way of your compassion and justice.
Keep leading us wisely! Keep leading us into
the truth. Keep leading us to act in love toward our neighbors. Keep leading us
to those who need companionship and care so that we may know them and minister
to them in your love. Keep leading us so that we may lead others to the healing
and freedom that we have found in You.
Lead us away from the taunting temptations
that the world dangles before us. Lead us away from the temptations that we
generate in our own imagination. Lead us
away from every form of sin and from our tendency to self-destruct.
Forgive us when we wander from the path.
Forgive us for thinking we can blaze our own trails without your companionship
and assistance.
Enable us to trust and follow your way fully, each day, as we journey with
You. Amen.
