Prayer for August 26-September 1, 2012
Sermon Text: Psalm 84
That our lives may
be energized by your nearness
God Almighty, every fiber of our being declares the beauty of
your presence. Every fiber of our being
aches to be near You because we know that You are Source of all blessing.
We praise You with
joy and hope!
Drawing near You
gives us strength. As we draw near,
experiences of bitterness and barrenness are transformed into fruitful
abundance. Efforts that would usually
sap our energy increase our strength.
We would rather
have one day with You than unlimited time apart from You. We would rather be your inconsequential
servants than be honored by those who reject You.
You direct and
protect us. You honor us and give us all
that is good.
Enable us to trust
You with courage and fidelity.
Your nearness is
our deepest delight! Amen.
