For Support in Times of Temptation

For Support in Times of Temptation

O LORD, our Defender, have pity upon us; behold the armies of the flesh, the world, and the devil fight against our souls, and multiply against us every day temptations and disadvantages. We are not able of ourselves, as of ourselves, to think a good thought, much less put to flight the armies of them that have set themselves against us round about. But Thou, O Lord, art our Defender, Thou art our Worship and the Lifter-up of our heads. Up, Lord, and help us; arm us with the shield of faith and the sword of the spirit, and in all times of temptation and battle, cover our heads with the helmet of salvation, so shall we not be afraid of ten thousands of our enemies, for salvation belongeth unto Thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
