Prayer 2774: For strength in the face of malice




Holy, Eternal One,
we lift our hearts before You in prayer,
numbering your manifold mercies
and seeking your light for our steps
and strength for this day's journey.

Remove the veil we have placed
over the lamp of your wisdom,
that we may turn our eyes toward your path, O God,
and renounce our hard-heartedness and fear.
May we make no bargain
with injustice for the sake of privilege,
with corruption for the sake of profit.
May we find our strength in compassion,
and seek to live blamelessly
walking humbly and lifting up each other
before the God of Mercy.

Unite us in integrity and holiness, Lord Christ,
and lead us by the Spirit of Truth
into a deeper faithfulness and joy.
Grant the balm of your blessing, O Savior
to all those whose needs we remember before You.

Amen.
