Prayer for February 8-14, 2015
Sermon Text: Mark
1:29-39
That we may keep first things
first as we follow You
Jesus, we rejoice that You are not aloof
and uncaring in the face of the illnesses, injuries and diseases of your
children. We rejoice that in your
compassion and strength You heal many.
And even though we are puzzled that You do not always heal in the ways
that we hope for, we acknowledge your wisdom and sovereignty. We trust in You.
And we rejoice in your ability to liberate
us from spiritual oppression and bondage.
We rejoice that in your healing power You energize us to serve others in
compassion.
We rejoice, too, that in the midst of your
earthly ministry, You kept first things first: seeking regular communion with
the Holy One so that your vision for ministry was constantly clarified and your
energy for the exercise of your authority was constantly renewed.
Finally, we rejoice in the healing that
You have done among us. We rejoice in
the freedom You have created for us. We
praise You that You have spoken your word to us, enabled our belief, and made
us children of God’s reign of justice, joy, and peace. Amen.
