Prayer for August 30-September 5, 2015
Sermon Text: James 1:17-27
That our belief will be expressed through sensitive
action for the most vulnerable among us
Generous God, we rejoice in the many good
and perfect gifts that You have given us, particularly the gift of Jesus
Christ, through whom we have been reconciled to You and have been enabled to
walk with You in faithfulness.
Enable us to reflect your loving character
and generosity by listening carefully to one another. Free us from the need to have the first and
last word. Free us from the control of
anger that drives a wedge between us and our brothers and sisters in
Christ.
Purify our hearts, through your powerful
word, and enable us to set aside every practice that is rooted in evil instead
of in love and righteousness.
Help us to link belief and action in
consistent ways, so that we are not deluded about our faith. Make us particularly sensitive to those among
us who are most vulnerable and in need of assistance and advocacy.
Let our lives be a continuous expression
of our faith in You. Amen.
