Prayer for April 27-May 3, 2014
Sermon Text: John 20:19-31
That we may trust
your Living Word and Untamed Spirit
Almighty God, we
rejoice that You have raised Jesus from the dead. We rejoice that Jesus has met us in the midst
of our doubts and fears, spoken peace to us, and enabled us to rejoice in the
new life you give.
Thank You that
Jesus has breathed your Spirit upon us and has sent us to continue the work
that he began.
God, we thank You
for entrusting your disciples with authority to forgive sins. May your Spirit give us hearts that desire
forgiveness and reconciliation, but also the wisdom to discern when forgiveness
may not be appropriate. Let us represent
You truly and compassionately.
God, help us keep
our hearts open to You. Help us to
receive the witness of our sisters and brothers to Christ’s living presence
among us. Help us to trust You because
your Living Word and your Untamed Spirit are loose among us.
We praise You that Jesus’ life touches our
own in indescribable ways! Amen.
Thanks, Dave!
