PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 24: TUESDAY Deliver us from evil
Righteous One, some days, when we listen
to the testimony of our media outlets, it sounds as though evil has us
completely surrounded and is about to overwhelm us and doom us to a horrible
existence without hope.
In some places many people do live their
lives under the threat of evil and terror. Defeat that evil by toppling systems
that thrive by destruction and death. Defeat that terror by raising up people
who pursue justice and practice mercy.
In other situations, people generate
terror and threat in their own fearful imaginations and do not know how to
respond. Immerse those people in healing love. Bring clarity of perception and
thought into their lives. Surround them with people who can encourage them and
enable them to release their anxieties and trust in You.
Enable us to trust You so thoroughly that
we are able to live without fear in your presence. Enable us to support and
encourage one another as your courageous people. Enable us to practice good
works that extend your goodness throughout your creation by generating a cascade
of goodness that flows through many lives. Amen.
