Prayer for July 8-14, 2012
Sermon Text: Mark 6:1-13
That we may
faithfully respond to the radical challenge of your word
Jesus, at times we have been awed by your instruction,
humbled by your wisdom, delighted to hear You speak to us through the scripture
and the instruction of the church.
At other times, we
respond as though we have known and understood You fully, and our familiarity
with your word has led us to treat You and your instruction as unremarkable,
uninspiring, and without authority for our lives.
Forgive us for
such blind arrogance!
Open our minds to
perceive clearly! Enable us to hear the
radical challenge of your word that makes great demands upon us while promising
much.
Enable us to
respond with bold faith. Enable us to
spread your word and practice your healing love in all of the places You set or
send us. We give ourselves to You in
humility and joy. Amen.
