Prayer based on Revelation 12

Father God, Your Son has come as a Child of the Old Covenant community. This Son of Mary is also Your only-begotten Son. Blessed be Your Name! He faced the greatest tribulation for our sake. Bring us through this current period of birth pains as we wait for the fullness of the New Covenant community. There is a warfare going on that we do not fully see. You must carry us through the evil day. The devil and his angels have been cast down upon the earth, and there is much hatred against Your church. Protect us, O Lord! Reign over this accuser of our brothers. His time is measured and will swiftly come to an end. Give us wings to fly to safety through all kinds of trouble, and give us strength and courage as we fight the battle that You have ordained for us in this life. It does help us to know that our trials are not accidental, and that You, who gave Your Son for us, can never be defeated.
