Today We Pray

Dear Lord, help me to be open to You for this time as I put aside the cares of this world. Fill my thoughts with Your peace and love. May I never take the gift of freedom for granted.

Let me not put my trust in the words of men, for their minds are weak and their tongues are tainted by the world. Let me not put my trust in the thoughts of my mind, for I am filled with sin and self-deceit. But let me test everything having to do with faith against our only true teacher, Jesus Christ, and the true Word of God that He inspired the apostles to write in the Bible.

The God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make me perfect in every good work to do Your will, working in me that which is well pleasing in Your sight. Fill my spirit with Your peace and Your joy. Through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.

Amen
