A Lent Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who has authority over all the powers of darkness, we cry out to You as the man You freed from unclean spirits cried out.

Show Your power in our lives and cast out every evil spirit, every fear, and every despair that binds us.

O Lord, just as You commanded the demons to leave the man and enter the pigs, command every chain that holds us captive to be broken in Your holy name.

Grant us purity of heart, peace of mind, and the joy of salvation, that we may be witnesses to Your glory, just as the man You healed went to proclaim Your wonders.

We place our trust in Your unfailing authority and believe that You are the Lord who delivers and heals.

Amen.
