Lord's Prayer Cycle Prayer 6: Save Us From the Time of Trial


Our Father in heaven, 
loving Parent and Creator, 
tender Mother, 

save us from the time of trial, 
for we are prone to wander 
and lose our way. 

Make us stronger in our faith 

and more willing to wrestle with the angel of doubt. 
Guide us into living and loving more fully 
according to your precepts. 
Help us turn aside all vain ambitions 
and concentrate fully upon your Word. 
Give us courage to make our hearts bigger, 
even if that makes them bigger targets, 
for love is always the answer. 
Help us to persevere 
through the difficulties of life, 
knowing that You are always with us. 
Give us the sight to see hope amid darkness. 

O Loving One, hear our prayers 

and grant your benediction and grace 
to those whose needs we now raise before You.

Amen.


--The Rev. Leslie Scoopmire, from my prayer blog
