For Remembrance on 9/11

Lord of Nations,
On this day, twenty-five years ago, terrorists flew planes into buildings with the intent of murdering as many people as possible. Among all of the innocent lives lost were many of the first responders who dedicated their lives to helping and rescuing others. Let us remember and honor all of them. Be with all who on this day are reliving the pain of having lost loved ones on that tragic day, or some time afterward because they were exposed to the toxic effects. Continue to bless them with your healing and hope. Thank you for those who have vigilantly served around the clock ever since that tragedy to thwart future terrorist plots and to guard and protect the citizens of our nation. Protect all who dedicate their lives to protecting us. Bring to justice all of Satan’s agents with malicious hearts who are hell-bent on carrying out similar acts of pure evil against other human beings. Lord, have mercy.  

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Guard Against the World’s Influence

Lord Jesus,
You have made me free! I rejoice in the eternal freedom I have from the condemnation of sin and the fear of separation from you in death. Moreover, my freedom means that my enemies – Satan, the fallen world, and my own sinful flesh – no longer have complete control over me. While each of those enemies still threatens me, help me navigate the treacherous traps all around me in the fallen world. When I let my light shine and stand up in for my faith, I so often stand out as well. But when that happens, I am tempted to quietly blend in and go along with the world instead. Then, as I blend in with the world, I am more inclined to let my guard down and embrace what should be avoided and avoid the good things you would have me embrace. Guard me from the desire to blend in at the expense of my faith and Christian morals. Create in me the longing to swim against the current of the world and reveal a better way: yours. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Be Prepared to Defend Against the Devil’s Attacks

Lord Jesus,
You have made me free! I rejoice in the eternal freedom I have from the condemnation of sin and the fear of separation from you in death. Moreover, my freedom means that my enemies – Satan, the fallen world, and my own sinful flesh – no longer have complete control over me. While each of those enemies still threatens me, keep me diligently alert and aware of Satan’s schemes. His attacks are calculated, he has expert knowledge of my weaknesses, and he is relentless. Grant me vigilance to always be on guard and equip me with the Spirit’s armor to defend myself from every danger. Give me the discernment to avoid any circumstances that might give him the upper hand. Protect me from my own pride that could put me at risk of presuming I am strong enough to stand against him on my own. Finally, even when I fall, reassure me with the confidence of the victory I have in you that has already thoroughly defeated him. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
