Listen to my prayer, O God.

Your Kingdom come, your will be done...
for I see violence and conflict in the city.
Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders,
but the real danger is wickedness within the city.
Everything is falling apart (Ps. 55:9b-11a)
Pray for God's kingdom to increase locally and globally

Give us this day, our daily bread...
Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. (Ps. 55:22)
Bring practical needs and anxieties to the Father

Forgive us our sins...
Morning, noon, and night
I cry out in my distress,
and the Lord hears my voice. (Ps. 55:17)
Spend a moment in quiet confession and pray for healing of relational conflict

And lead us not into temptation...
But God is my helper.
The Lord keeps me alive! (Ps. 54:4)
Request the Spirit's wisdom and protection to walk in God's ways

Closing Benediction
I will praise your name, O Lord,
for it is good.
For you have rescued me from my troubles
and helped me to triumph over my enemies. (Ps. 54:6b-8)
