Prayer for November 10-16, 2013
Sermon Text: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17
That we may stand
firm in faith during times of adversity and well-being
Living God, draw us deeply into your word, into the scriptures
that have come to us through prophet, scribe and apostle who were urged to
speak and write by the movement of your spirit in their lives. Give us a thorough knowledge of scripture
that we may live wisely in your presence.
Help us live in
joyful anticipation of Jesus’ return and the full visibility of your governance
among us. Do not let us be misled by
teachers who claim to know the time of Jesus’ return and who rouse many to
anxiety.
Continue the
transforming work You began within us when You chose us as your people and set
us apart for your mission of love and mercy in the world.
Enable us to stand
firm in faith through times of adversity and times of well-being. May your Spirit enable us to speak and do
good as You provide us with many opportunities to do so for your glory. Amen.
