PRAYER
Almighty God, I'm grateful that you reveal enough of your will that we can discern what to do in most situations. I confess that sometimes I get sucked into advancing the agenda of the world—an agenda that is contrary to yours. Give me a spine to take a stand for you and wisdom as to the best way to do that. I'm here to advance YOUR agenda as revealed through Christ Jesus. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
