Prayer for June 28-July 4, 2015 
Sermon Text: Mark 5:21-43

That we may receive your healing word and touch

Jesus, we rejoice that You did not remain aloof or act with condescension toward the poor and sick people whom You encountered.  We rejoice that You answered—and do answer—pleas for help.  We rejoice that You accompanied—and do accompany—the fearful who turned to You because of their love for another.  And we thank You for pausing, as You went your way, in order to respond to another who reached beyond her fear to touch You in her need.  

Jesus, we rejoice in your authority and ability to heal by a touch or a word.  We rejoice in your willingness.  And we turn to You for our own healing, trusting that You will work within us in ways that give us new energy and joy as we follow You.  Amen.
