PRAYER FOR May 17-23, 2015
Sermon Text: John 17:6-19

That we may be more completely filled with your joy 

Jesus, we rejoice that out of your own unity with God, You have revealed God to us and revealed that we belong to God.  By your faithful action and loving service You have enabled us to believe that You were sent by God.  You have enabled us to obey God in trust because we have learned to trust You.       

Thank you for keeping us secure in your love.  Thank you for binding us together in unity with each other, with You, and with God the Father.  Let nothing disrupt the unity that You have created among us.  Enable us to cultivate that unity by our own self-giving acts of service and love.  

We thank You for the joy You have given us and ask that You fill us more completely with your joy as we serve one another and tell the world about You.  Protect us from every form of evil as You set us apart for God’s purpose.  Amen.
