Prayer for June 14-20, 2015
Sermon Text: Mark 4:26-34
That we may fulfill our small roles in your enlarged reign
Sovereign
God, we like to imagine that we have control of many things. We work to manage or control events that seem
to swirl around us. We even believe, at
times, that we can exercise control over the good that You are doing in the
world.
But your
reign among us is commonly enlarged in the quiet times and spaces when we are
inactive and unconscious of all that You are doing behind the scenes of our
lives.
You are
enlarging your reign in ways that we neither see nor control. You are assuring that it will provide
security and shelter for many. You are
bringing it to fruitfulness and preparing us to participate in harvesting the
growth that You give.
Enable us
to fulfill the roles that You have given to us, even as we remember that it is You who
reign and You who guarantee that your realm will be one of healing, peace, and
great glory. Amen.
