Shared Prayer

Holy One by the word of the Lord, You call us to seek good and not evil, that we may live, and You promise to be with us. Turn our steps from what corrupts, hardens, and destroys, and make our choices pleasing in Your sight. For the believer facing pressure to compromise, for the one fighting bitterness after being wronged, for the one tempted in secret, strengthen them to refuse evil and pursue what is right. through our God we choose what is good, even when evil feels easier, and we trust Your presence to keep us and lead us. Put truth in our mouths, mercy in our actions, and integrity in our decisions. Thank You for not leaving us to ourselves, and for being with us as You have spoken. In your mighty and loving name, we pray. Amen.
