Prayer for November 29-December 5, 2015
Sermon Text: Luke 21:25-36
That we may not be
consumed by anxiety, fear, or wanton pleasures
Coming One, some
days it seems that everywhere we look there are celestial signs and earthly
disasters and tragedies that point to your imminent return.
Although your
people, throughout the church’s history, have frequently been convinced that
the signs were aligned for your return, You tarry.
Though You tarry,
enable us to live in prayerful watchfulness for You. Enable us to see and rejoice in signs that
You are at work, and that your plan for the reconciliation of all things is
slowly unfolding before us. Enable us
not to be consumed by anxiety and fear or by wanton pleasures. Help us to live in daily obedience to your
word as we face the world for courageous and compassionate ministry.
May our lives bear
your good news to many who live in apathy or terror. Amen.
