You teach us, Lord, “to distinguish
good from evil” (Hebrews 5:14). Show us the wrong way so that we can
avoid it. Show us the right way so that we can choose it. Often, Lord,
we know what is right but we don’t do what’s right. We need the power
that comes from You. Without the power of the Holy Spirit, we fail, over
and over again. With the Holy Spirit, living in us, we are learning to
choose the good way of living, the way that pleases You and brings glory
to You.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
