Prayer for January 25-31, 2015
Sermon Text: Mark 1:14-20
Christ Jesus, we rejoice that You have
walked into our lives, preaching the good news of God’s nearness and commanding
repentance and belief through the voices of many who have answered your call to
follow.
We rejoice that You have enabled us to
follow You – some “at once” and others after more prolonged exposure to your
presence and your word.
We rejoice that You have enabled us to
change our minds, to turn from selfish and narrow pursuits, in order to serve
the broad vision of God’s saving and healing reign.
We rejoice that You have enabled us to
believe that You are the One in and through whom God has made God’s own self
known, and to live our belief by following You and learning from You in glad
obedience.
We rejoice that You empower us to invite
others into this journey of repentance and belief in You. Let love and joy overflow our lives so that
others hear your call, look to You, experience your transforming love, and
follow You with gladness. Amen.
