Prayer for February 21-27, 2016
Sermon Text: Luke 13:31-35
That we will not be deterred from pursuing your mission
God we are awed by the courage that Jesus showed in the face of deadly threat. We rejoice that he pursued your mission undeterred by questions, deception, the weak faith of his followers, and open antipathy.
We gratefully add our voices to those who proclaimed, "Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord." We acclaim Jesus as our Sovereign and Savior.
But we still lament the fact that his faithfulness led to his death. We still lament the fact that our open rebellion against You contributed to his death.
Forgive us! Heal us! Energize us for courageous obedience that will not be deterred from pursuing your mission in the world. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
