PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE:
ONE: From a spirit of contention which would destroy our unity;
MANY: Good Lord, deliver us.
ONE: From a spirit of rage which would destroy our love;
MANY: Good Lord, deliver us.
ONE: From a spirit of despair which would destroy our hope;
MANY: Good Lord, deliver us.
ONE: From pride of self which leaves no room for your Spirit;
ALL: Good Lord, deliver us—for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
