Prayer for September 2-8, 2012
Sermon Text: James 1:17-27
That we may be
faithful in listening and speaking
Generous God, You have lavished many gifts upon us. You have provided all that we need to live in
faithful communion with You.
We rejoice in
You! We praise You for your goodness to
us! We delight in your eternal
faithfulness! We find joy and peace in
the life You have given us through your word of truth!
Enable us to
listen before we speak. Help us control
our anger so we may pursue your righteousness.
Guide us as we remove everything from our lives that hinders our communion
with You and that limits the growth of your word in our lives.
Help us obey your
word each day. Help us to remember that
we are yours and to live fully into our identity. Enable us to comprehend your desire for us so
that we may live into the freedom and blessing You create for us.
Help us tame our
speech. Keep us from deceiving ourselves
about our faith in You. Energize us to
care for those who are most vulnerable among us, and to walk away from the
things of the world that pollute and destroy.
God, we trust You
wholly, for You have given yourself wholly to us. Amen.
