Today We Pray



Dear Most Gracious Lord God, from whom proceeds every good and perfect gift, I offer to Your divine majesty my unfeigned praise and thanksgiving for all Your mercies towards me. You made me at first and have ever since sustained the work of Your own hand. You gave Your Son to die for me and have given me assurance of salvation, upon my repentance and sincerely endeavoring to conform my life to his holy precepts and example.

I beseech You to defend me this week from all evil. And do more for me than I can think or ask, for Jesus Christ’s sake. Do not allow me to be drawn away from You, by the blandishments of the world, carnal desires, the cunning of the devil, or deceitfulness of sin. 

Take care, I pray You, of my affairs and more and more direct me in Your truth, defend me from my enemies, especially my spiritual ones. Help us to proclaim the good news of Your love, that all who hear it may be drawn to You. Through him who was lifted up on the cross, and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Amen
