Almighty God, thanks for the gift of another day of life. Father look with favour on your children as we navigate a world filled with unclean spirits. Strengthen our faith today that we may confront and defeat the spirits of envy and jealousy that make us pull down rather than build each other, the spirit of greed that causes us to accumulate more for ourselves while others go without, and the spirit of bigotry that causes us to exclude others while revelling in our own self-importance. Help us to create a better world today O God, where absolute trust in you, marks our every action.
