Prayer for December 22-28, 2013
Sermon Text: Matthew 1:18-25
That we may receive
Jesus as your greatest gift
God of wonder and delight, we rejoice in the freedom of your
Spirit who moves among us in strange and often unseen ways in order to
accomplish your will.
We rejoice that
You brought Jesus, your Messiah, through a young woman who trusted You, and
that You spoke to her betrothed through a dream that convinced him not to
abandon her because of her pregnancy.
Enable us to trust You as fully as they did.
We rejoice that
the One You brought into their marriage, and into the world, was fully united
to You so that your presence was evident in his character and action.
Enable us to
receive Jesus as your greatest gift to us.
Enable us to trust his guidance and follow him wherever he leads
us. May we glorify You as we
follow. Amen.
