Sermon Text: Genesis 28:10-19a
That we will answer your surprising presence with humble obedience
God of glory, in the midst of our fights and our flights, in the midst of places strange and unsettling dreams, You surprise us by your presence. You meet us where we had not expected to find You. You awaken us with awe and with a deep awareness of our own unholiness and inadequacy before you. You make promises and offer blessing as gracious gift beyond anything we could earn. You welcome us into your household.
We bow before You in humility. We worship You with gladness. We submit ourselves to You as obedient servants, but also as beloved children who are completely dependent upon You.
We rejoice in your blessing and we ask that You enable us to channel your love to many others, so they might know that they are blessed by You too. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
