Daily Prayer - Consecrate Them in Truth

Oh, my Jesus, consecrate them in truth and keep them from the evil one.  Awaken within them a deep, abiding, animating faith, hope and trust in you.  May they see and know the POWER and DEPTH of your love and mercy in their life. May they always desire a close friendship with you and honor your mother, Mary.  Show them your mercy, O LORD, and bring their lives to fulfilment in health and happiness. May their hearts be filled with joy and gladness and their days filled with peace!  AMEN.

I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth. John 17:15-19

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19
