Prayer for December 7-13, 2014
Sermon Text: Mark
1:1-8, Isaiah 40:1-11
That our lives may be reordered by your Spirit
Merciful God, we rejoice that You sent
John the Baptizer to cry aloud in the wilderness and to urge your people to
prepare for your renewed and renewing presence among them.
We rejoice that You still send prophets to
cry aloud—even in our urban wildernesses—in order to call us to repentance,
call us to reorder our lives, and prepare our hearts for Jesus, who still comes
to us and acts among us in fresh ways.
Our repentance, our reordering, our open
hearts are all accomplished through your enabling power, by your Holy Spirit
who breathes in and through us with unbridled energy.
We thank You for Jesus, your Chosen and
Anointed One. We thank You for your Holy
Spirit with whom Jesus has baptized us.
We thank You for your unfailing presence among us. Amen.
