GOD ON YOUR SIDE

PSALM 119:154 (CEB)
Argue my case and redeem me.
     Make me live again by your word.


2 THESSALONIANS 3:3 (CEB)
The Lord is faithful and will give you strength and protect you from the evil one.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
You're not alone because the Lord is on your side.

PRAYER

Faithful and trustworthy God, you stand by your people, protecting them from spiritual assault, and saving them from the influence of evil. Yet, I confess that I don't make your job easy. I act without thinking of the consequences and implications. I wander from the safe areas that you designate. Then I feel like I have to fix all the damage I've done. Keep me focused on you and your faithfulness so that I genuinely live again away from the shadow of darkness. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
