Prayer for April 28-May 4, 2013
Sermon Text: Revelation 21:1-6
That we may live new
life, now, as we await the day of fulfillment
You who make all things new, we await the fullness of your
reign among us. You who are Alpha and
Omega, we place our lives in your hands.
You are our Beginning and our End.
You are all in all to us!
We rejoice in the
visions You give your people, especially the visions of heaven and earth
renewed, and of pain, death and grief ended forever. We rejoice that You will be our tender
Comforter who wipes away every tear. We
rejoice that we are invited to drink, even now, from the refreshing spring of
new life.
God of new life,
enable us to live the new life You give, now, in preparation and readiness for
your new heaven and new earth. Enable us
to follow Jesus each day in the power of your Spirit. Enable us, even now, to be agents of the comfort
and healing that You will one day bring among us in fullness.
We await the day
of fulfillment with joy. We sing your
praise with great delight. Amen.
