Prayer for October 27-November 2, 2013
Sermon Text: Luke 18:9-14
That we may live
within the outpouring of your goodness
You who are worthy of all our praise, enable us to worship
You with humility. Enable us to see the
reality of our sinfulness, and set aside our pride, arrogance, and delusions
about our own goodness and autonomy.
We call on You for mercy and forgiveness. Forgive us for our many sins. Forgive us for comparing ourselves to others
whose hearts only You know. Forgive us
for our misplaced confidence in ourselves.
We praise You that You have forgiven us. We thank You for transforming us into people
of justice and mercy through the ministry and sacrifice of Jesus Christ among
us.
We trust You to abase us or exalt us, in your loving mercy,
so that we may be fully attuned to You and live within the outpouring of your
goodness. Amen.
