Prayer for September 6-12, 2015 
Sermon Text: Mark 7:24-37

That every dimension of our lives may be open to your presence

Jesus, we rejoice that though the primary focus of your ministry was for your people, the Jews, You acted with compassion toward strangers whom You encountered, stimulating hope and making your healing power evident among them.

We rejoice that your openness to the stranger and foreigner set a precedent for your disciples, so that your ministry of hope and healing has
·      released multitudes from spiritual bondage
·      opened many hearts to receive You
·      opened many ears to hear and obey your word
·      opened many mouths to speak your love and sing your praise
·      opened many eyes to witness your wonderful deeds and see your glory.

Your compassion presence and action has thoroughly astonished us, even as it has opened our hearts to trust You more completely.  

We rejoice in You!  Amen.
