Prayer for October 19-25, 2014 
Sermon Text: Matthew 22:15-22

That we may be transformed by the truth of Jesus’ teaching

God, prevent us from being among those who claim to honor the integrity, independence and truth of Jesus’ teaching, while resisting him, strenuously, in our hearts and minds.

Soften our hearts to receive Jesus’ presence.  Open our minds so that we may hear and be transformed by the truth of Jesus’ teaching.  Move us beyond any verbal or mental jousting with Jesus, so that we may fully recognize him as Agent of your reign among us and may follow him in utter devotion to You, so that You receive all of the devotion, loyalty, obedience and honor that You are due.  

With the help of your Holy Spirit, we gladly put our whole selves, and every resource that You have provided, at your disposal for your good pleasure.  Amen.
