Prayer for November 1-7, 2015 
Sermon Texts: Mark 12:28-34; Ruth 1:1-18

That we may commit ourselves boldly to one another

God of all, eliminate every obstacle within us that prevents us from loving You with our whole being.  May our heart and soul be filled with your presence and moved by your love.  May our thoughts be focused on You.  May all of our energy be expended for You in ways that extend your reconciling reign.

As we give ourselves wholly to You, in response to your costly, self-giving love, move us to love our neighbors with every kind of good work.  Enable us to make and keep deep commitments to one another, so that as we love one another, we may be sources of blessing for one another, making your love visible through creative and generous action.  

As we love You wholly, and love our neighbors and companions for the journey with bold, creative love, may the observing world perceive that You are behind our loving action, and turn, with longing, to You.  Amen.
