DELIVER US FROM EVIL

Companions in Christ,
Knowing that our heavenly father
has sufficient grace for all our needs,
let us pray to him now.

Lord, we pray for the leaders and ministers
of your Church, especially those for whom
your work has brought danger and persecution;
may they never lose sight of your presence,
which comforts and protects.

silence

Lord of power:
deliver us from evil.

We pray for clear light and guidance as our world faces
 the problems and crises of another week;
for the willingness of leaders
to be wisely advised and courageous
in doing what is right.

Lord of power:
deliver us from evil.

We pray for a greater willingness in us
to live and work in your strength;
for a deepening trust in your power
to save, heal and overcome temptation.

Lord of power
deliver us from evil.

We pray for all addicted to drugs,
alcohol, solvent abuse, violence,
or any other habit that enslaves;
for all victims of war, and abuse;
for the terrified and the suicidal.

Lord of power
deliver us from evil.

We pray that all who have passed from this life  (for me this includes especially my late wife Tracy)
may live in the joy of your presence for ever.

silence

Lord of power
deliver us from evil.

Thank you, Father, for all the evils
that have been conquered,
and all the good that is done through your power
every day throughout our world.
Help us to notice your goodness.

silence

Father we bring these prayers
trusting in the power of your love,
which you have shown to us
as Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen

This blog if I am able in any way to say it is art, is the art of equipping us to be being in good spirits. Do we not want to be balanced well in an holistic sense to encounter what this world has in store for us? So meditation and prayer can equip us to go forth with open hearts and spirits ablaze.

We are immortal spiritual beings having an human experience.

Go forth with love and spread the good news that we have been saved.


Your brother Peter/
