Prayer for July
20-26, 2014
Sermon Text: Romans 8:12-25
That we may be agents of healing for each other and
for creation
God, our Creator, You have connected us to
creation by shaping us from the raw materials of creation. You have connected us to You by making us in
your image, breathing your breath into us, and then by renewing us in the image
of Christ and filling us with your Spirit.
We rejoice in your generous creativity
even as we acknowledge that creation itself is wounded and groans for healing
and renewal that will only be achieved when You have fully renewed us and
revealed your glory in us.
We await with hope the day when we, and
all of creation, will be liberated from decay for a life of wholeness, abundant
fruitfulness, and radiant splendor.
Work within us and equip us to be agents
of healing for each other and for your creation. All our hope is in You and in the Healing One
who has come among us. Amen.
