Alertness Prayer

Dear Jesus,

We praise you for your goodness and mercy and thank you for the example of Alertness in your life. You were always on the lookout for ways to tell people about your Father. Help us to keep our eyes and ears open so we can recognize and heed warning signals of falling into sin. Teach us to choose to do right thing before we’re tempted to do bad things. May we learn, with your help, to stay away from unsafe people and places and help our friends stay away from danger, too. Help us to act in all things in harmony with the will of the Father.

Amen.
