Prayer for September 29-October 5, 2013
Sermon Text: Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15
That we may see and
admit the truth about ourselves
God of hope, at times when we are besieged by life we are
tempted to stop trusting You. Some of us
are tempted to deny the truth of our circumstances and assume that everything
will just be okay. Some of us are
inclined to presume that You will intervene, even when trouble has come about
as the result of our foolishness or sin and we have not sought you or your
intervention. Some of us become passive
and refuse to act because we conclude that there is no future for us.
God of all, enable
us to see the truth of our circumstances.
Enable us to face reality with courage.
Enable us to admit the truth when we have sinned or played the
fool. Enable us to repent. Enable us to seek You and trust You and
follow your guidance into the new life You promise.
God, our God, we
know that there is no real hope apart from your presence and action. All our hope is in You. Amen.
