Prayer for September 15-21, 2013 
Sermon Text: 1 Timothy 1:12-17
(Note: As it turned out, I preached from the gospel instead)

That we may be full transformed by your love
God, our Creator, we rejoice in your great mercy.  We rejoice that You have overcome our resistance, overcome the violence of our hearts, to flood our lives with your grace and enable us to trust and love You through Christ Jesus.

You have saved us from the sin that enslaved us.  You have acted with great patience toward us.  You have shown us your amazing ability to transform lives so that we, with our many flaws and checkered histories, may be a sign of hope for others.

God of all, we rejoice that You have freed us, forgiven us, healed us, transformed us, called us, and empowered us as your people. 


How we rejoice in You!  Amen.
