For the Wise Use of Our Freedom

Holy Counselor,
Since Jesus bought and paid for us with his precious blood, we are free – free from the fear of eternal death, free from the condemnation of sin, and free from slavery to Satan. We are free because we are yours.

Holy Spirit, guide us with your counsel to use that freedom wisely. Let Jesus’ selfless love direct our own hearts and minds, so that we speak and act not in the best interests of ourselves, but in the interests of others. Let me consider not simply what is permissible for me, but rather what is beneficial for my neighbor. As we combine our freedom in Christ with the spiritual wisdom you provide, our freedom is a blessing that builds others up rather than a burden that breaks them down. Grant me your wisdom, Counselor, so that my freedom might result in honor and glory for you, together with the Father and the Son. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Fight Temptation

Gracious Lord,
When we take stock of all the battles against temptation that we’ve lost, and how quick we are to surrender, victory always seems so far out of reach. Truly, if left on our own, it would be. But you fought and won the decisive victory against Satan for us. Your victory is our victory.

Instill in us the confidence and resilience to put up a fierce fight when facing temptation. Yes, the devil is relentless, but we are not helpless. Give us your strength to guard our hearts from whatever would poison them and to keep our eyes from being enticed. With our ears, let us hear only what is good and noble, whatever is uplifting and encouraging, and with our lips, let our speech follow suit. Equip us daily with the weapon of your Word to become more and more determined to stand strong when we are tempted. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Encouragement through Worship

Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. As the Last Day draws closer, you invite us to gather together with believers around your Word more and more. In our time of worship this morning with our church family, remind us of the many ways you bless your church as it gathers for worship. Encourage us through the presence and participation of others – especially those who make significant sacrifices just to come to church each week.

Use us also to be a source of encouragement to others. Help us in worship and the fellowship that follows to see and become aware of the needs of our brothers and sisters in Christ, and move us to do what we can to meet those needs. Bind us together with a love for each other that is spurred on by your great love for us. Let us not forsake gathering together regularly, and bless us through your Word and through the body of Christ, our fellow believers. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
