“Behold
I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as
serpents and harmless as doves.”
Dear
Heavenly Father,
Thank
You for Your promise; blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel
of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the
seat of the scornful. May our delight be in You. May we heed the
words of caution, to be wise as a serpents and gentle as a doves.
Protect Your children who are exposed to hatred and violence. May we
walk calmly with the power of Your Holy Spirit to overcome the Fowler
who tries to ensnare us. Open our ears and eyes to those within the
flock who seem as tender as sheep but are wolves amongst us desiring
to lead us astray. May we be strong in the power of Your might Lord
Jesus, putting on the full armor You have blessed us with. The helmet
of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth, shield of
faith and sword of the Spirit so we may stand against the wiles of
the devil. Bring quickly to our recall in every situation and
challenge we face, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, powers, the rulers of darkness of this age
and against spiritual hosts of wickedness. May our feet be shrouded
in Your peace wherever we may roam. Father I pray all will delight in
Your word, meditating day and night on Your goodness, faithfulness
and wisdom. Bless us with Your Spirit to live in purity and innocence
causing our roots to go down deep, like tree planted by the rivers of
water. Jesus I pray, may we bear fruit in the various seasons of our
life to bring glory and honor to You our wise and gentle King. Thank
You Lord for leaning Your ear to hear my prayers for my family,
friends and brothers and sisters in Christ who love You dearly. May
Your name Jesus be lifted high, Amen.
Psalm
1:1-3 and Ephesians 6:10-13
