Today's Focus: Protection from Devil
On this third day, we pray for protection from direct attacks of the devil.
Prayer for Day 3
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for Your many blessings and the protections you offer us. We humbly ask You today to bring about the ultimate defeat of evil in the world.
There are many ways that evil can affect us. Some people might even suffer from the direct attacks of the devil against them. Even when it seems as if the forces of evil are very strong and powerful, we know that You hold ultimate power over all things.
Please bring about the triumph of Your goodness over all evil. And we particularly ask today that You give protection to all who are being directly attacked by the devil.
Help us to truly believe that You are all powerful. Give us the grace to trust in You more fully at every opportunity in our lives.
