PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS

DAY 31: WEDNESDAY  Lead us not into temptation

Gracious Guide, we are following You with gladness. We are following You with our eyes wide to the marvelous ways that You provide for your many children, including us. We are following You conscious of the many pitfalls that You lead us past and the places of abundance and beauty that reflect your wise creativity. We are following You in full knowledge that we are not traveling alone, but that we are accompanied by multitudes of people who travel your way and desire that your will be done.

Some of us have barely begun our journey with You. Others have walked with you for many decades. All of us trust that You will lead us away from the gaudy temptations with which we are surrounded, and the subtle temptations that burrow into our consciousness, in order to enter the life of true freedom, joy and peace You desire for us.  

You have led us well even when we have not followed well. Strengthen our resolve to keep to the narrow way in which You lead us now.  Amen.
