Give judgment for us, O Lord, separate out those who are truly Yours from the tares whose mouths are filled with poison.
Test us, O Lord and try us. Examine our hearts and minds so that all can see who embraces Jesus Christ as the way, the truth and the life, and who embraces Satan the slanderer, the one who speaks insults, and tries to divide brothers and sisters.
Let us all see who has set Your love before our eyes, and who is filled with hate and complaints. Who walks faithfully with the Lord as You lead, and who murmurs at the things that the Lord has done.
Separate out those who aspire to sit with the saints from those who sit with the worthless, those who consult with the fellowship of the apostles from those who consort with the deceitful.
Lord give us discernment that we would hate the company of the evildoers and be reviled by the wicked. Thank you that you have given us Your blood to wash away any contamination from the words of our mouth or the thoughts of our heart so that we can go in the procession around Your altar.
Lord Jesus, we pray that our mouths would be filled with thanksgiving at all the wonderful deeds you have done and that we would not be poisoned by those who grumble, murmur and complain.
Lord Jesus let us set our minds on Your house which we love and in which You dwell and the place where your glory abides.
We pray that we would not be swept away with the sinners who are filled with hate and who seek to harm those they disagree with. Their hands are full of evil plots, and their right hand is filled with bribes.
As for me I will stand on the blood of Jesus Christ, my redeemer, the merciful savior, and I will bless the Lord. Amen.
