Our Father, empower us to be on our guard against the influences, distractions or downright attack that could pierce our spirit or get us off track from the spiritual adventure in You. God of all comfort help us to reach for Your promise of strength today. Keep us from compromises that weaken our commitment & sabotage our success. Put Your shield of spiritual safety around us. Hear & answer us according to Your Word in the name of Your Son, our Savior Jesus-Christ, the way, the truth & the life. Amen
