LENTEN PRAYERS
WALKING WITH JESUS

Day 27: Friday
Mark 6:14-29

Christ Jesus, enable us to walk with You in faithfulness even when there is widespread misunderstanding about who You are and noisy opposition to your agenda of forgiveness, healing and liberation.

Give us courage to act fearlessly, even when powerful people and powerful systems do everything in their power to carry out an agenda of control, through violence, that injures, enslaves and destroys many people.  

Help us to do good without growing weary, even when progress is slow and we encounter heartbreaking setbacks.  Help us to speak truth to power, without wavering, even when the powers that be demand our silence.  Help us to act faithfully, and without anxiety, because we are not walking alone.  We trust You to walk with us and work through us for the fulfillment of your mission.  Amen.
