Father God, open our eyes to see the mystery behind the works of the evil one who seeks to steal and kill. The evidence is everywhere. May we awake from our years of slumber to understand the consequences of what goes on around us. Give us discernment to know truth from lie. Some will not realize the danger until they personally taste the bitter water. Lead us not into the temptation of manipulating others nor that of being manipulated by smooth-talk. Lead us to your living water in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for He sees that his day is coming.” (Psalm 37: 12-13 ESV)
