Prayer for October 9-15, 2011

Sermon Text: Exodus 32:1-14

That we will always remember your saving deeds and trust in You

God of wonders, how quickly we forget about You. How quickly we forget your marvelous deeds of liberation, your abundant provisions, and your wise guidance. When You seem absent and when wise leaders are not nearby, we quickly turn to old forms of enslavement and idolatry and imagine that they will insure our well-being.

Forgive us for our lack of trust in You. Forgive us for trusting ourselves or the work of our own hands instead of You. Forgive us for forgetting You. Forgive us for provoking your anger by our stubbornness.

God of mercy, restore our hearts. We would listen only to You, follow only You, serve only You, worship only You, and love You above all else. Help us today and tomorrow and all the days that follow. Amen.
