Prayer God of the hard places, we trust you never to lead us where we cannot survive. We believe that you desire what is best for us. And yet ... we are confused when we feel alone in confronting the temptations. Grant us the clarity that Jesus had in the wilderness. Give us the strength to overcome when faced with choices that might derail our lives. Send to us your Spirit, who will help repair what is broken in us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. We do not desire an untested faith but we do not willingly seek to test your love. Accept our love. Accept our trust. Accept our obedience. For the sake of your son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen 35
