A Prayer Based on the Petitions of the Lord's Prayer

“but deliver us from evil.”

In the Name of the Father and of (make the sign of the cross) the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O Lord, even when our last hour comes, You are still the only true God and the deliverer of Your people. To that end, lend your fatherly ear to my petitions:

· For the ill, suffering, injured: O Lord, You alone can deliver us from the Evil One. Hear my prayer for those who are ill, suffering, or injured, especially Dorothy Bratton, Florence Mitchell, Lou Ellen Hansen, Don Jensen,· Kris Dalessandro, and Mike G from OMRON; protect them in the one true Faith, and reassure Dorothy, Florence, Lou Ellen, Don, Kris, and Mike that You will deliver them from their physical affliction, either through renewed health or through entrance into eternal rest.
*  For the anxious, lonely: O God, even when trials and tribulations await us, You promise to deliver us. Hear my prayer on behalf of Joe Hibbs, Roxanne Hall; my neighbor Dale, and Gary Eiklor bring to them remembrance of Your Word: “In this world, you will have tribulation; but – be of good cheer! – I have overcome the world.”
* For the mourning: O Lord, when it appears that the Evil One has defeated us, Your promise to deliver us remains. Hear my prayer on behalf of those who mourn the death of loved ones. Keep them mindful of the redeeming work of Christ Crucified, that – because of Him – all who die in the faith are guaranteed a blessed end and will live with You forever.
* For the rejoicing: O Lord, as You have delivered us from the snares of the devil, You give us reasons –even in this life – to rejoice. Hear my prayer of thanksgiving on behalf of those who rejoice at various occasions. Grant them a grateful heart that thanks you for such temporal blessings and confidently looks forward to the blessed end You have prepared for us all.

Hear my petitions, O Heavenly Father, for the sake of Your Son, who -through His death- has eternally delivered us from every evil and has given us every certainty to pray, “Our Father, who art in heaven…”
