Stay engaged in the world and ask God to guard you from evil

Pull away from ordinary life so you never have to trust God's protection

Assume that danger means God has left you

Ignore evil and focus only on private spirituality

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned and lived in a world marked by evil, and I cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and receive you as my Lord and Savior. Keep me by your grace and lead me in your life. Amen.

Lord Jesus, Keep Me and Save Me

Lord, you did not pray for your people to be taken out of the world, but to be kept from evil. Revive your Church to live faithfully where you have placed us, to resist evil with courage, and to stay present with love in a hurting world, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Your Church in the World

Father, keep me in the places you have given me, and guard me from the evil one. Help me not to flee my calling out of fear, but to walk with wisdom, purity, and courage, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Guard Me Where You Place Me

Begin by naming the place where you feel exposed. Ask God to keep you there, then ask for one clear step of wisdom and one boundary that will help you remain faithful.

Pray for Discernment in the World

Thank God that he does not abandon believers in the world and that evil is not stronger than his care. Give thanks that Jesus prays for protection, not escape.

Grateful for God's Keeping Care

Pray for Christians in workplaces, schools, homes, and neighborhoods where evil feels close: that God would keep them, give them discernment, and help them remain compassionate and faithful.
