PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 40: SATURDAY
Deliver us from evil
O God! In our deepest moments of agony,
when it seems that we may be overwhelmed and defeated by evil all around, we
cry to You, in desperation, wondering why You have forsaken us and left us
alone and unprotected. Why have we been brought so low? How long must we endure
our desolation?
Surround us with your love Gracious One!
Be our Protector and Deliverer! We know that we are unable to stand against
evil on our own, but we have seen your deliverance in the history of your
people and in our own lives. We call on
You because we trust in You even when it appears, for at least a time, that You
have abandoned us.
In your goodness, go ahead of us, follow
us, and walk beside us as we face every kind of threat that would undermine our
faith and cause us to turn from You. Give us the fortitude to keep our eyes on
Jesus who endured everything that evil powers could muster against him. Remind us that through Jesus’ deep
vulnerability and apparent defeat, You have defeated every false power, every
authority that would attempt to usurp your own Sovereignty.
We cling to your promise of deliverance
with great hope! Amen.
