A Timely Prayer

I am reading daily the Asbury Theological Seminary’s Kingdomtide Reader. This prayer from yesterday’s reading resonated deeply.

Eternal God, we have been led by the Spirit to places unfamiliar, to wildernesses barren, to areas uncomfortable and frightening.  We are surrounded by temptations; we are hungry; we thirst.  We have wondered if truly the Spirit led us, or if it was the devil.  Meet us in our desert, we pray, and strengthen us to overcome every sinful craving and temptation, through the power of your Word and the guidance of the Spirit.  Amen.
