Prayer for December 21-27, 2014
Sermon Text: Luke 1:26-38, 2:1-20; Matthew 1:18-25
That our one word to You will be “Yes”
God of surprising newness, we are often unsettled and fearful when we
realize that your messengers are speaking your word of truth to us. Most of the time we would like things to go
on as they are, but then You surprise us with your presence and we hardly know
how to respond.
But you calm us. You tell us not
to be afraid. You make promises of new
life that we could not imagine on our own, just as You did with Mary when You
promised that she would be the bearer of your Anointed One.
Give us courage like Mary’s.
Enable us to say, “Yes, I am your servant, God. Yes, do as You please in and through my life. Yes, let Christ live in and through me so
that others may see your glory.”
When You come to us with your word of newness, let our one word be
“Yes!” Amen.
