Prayer for June 3-9, 2012
Sermon Text: John 3:1-17
That we may submit
to ongoing renewal
Christ Jesus, when we come to You in our fear, with our many
questions and unspoken agendas, You confront us with the truth. But You confront us in the love of God and
with a desire to rescue us, not condemn us.
You invite us to
live within your peace making, life giving governance that will endure
forever. But you inform us that we
cannot participate in your reign unless we become new people ourselves, people
reborn by the untamed wind of your Spirit.
We rejoice in You,
for You have allowed us to see You in the vulnerability and glory of your
crucifixion. You have helped us to trust
You in spite of our limited understanding.
You have led us to the waters of baptism. Your Spirit has surged through our lives,
transforming us and making us new.
Enable us, as your
redeemed and transformed people, to submit to the ongoing renewal of your
Spirit. Let our trust in You be as fresh
as your faithfulness and mercy to us.
You are our
life! We rejoice in You with
thanksgiving! Amen.
