Prayer for February 28-March 5, 2016
Sermon Text: Isaiah 55:1-9

That our anxiety and acquisitiveness may be transformed into trust

God! Forgive us for investing our energy and our resources in acquiring things that will never provide us with satisfaction or security. Forgive us for our anxious hearts. Forgive us for failing to listen to your generous offer of a rich life that is not based on amassing and grasping more and more commodities, but upon receiving with gratitude the abundant peace and joy that is based in covenant relationship with You.

We are committed to seeking You while You are near. We are committed to listening to You and doing your will. We trust in your mercy and forgiveness as the only source of hope for us.  

We acknowledge, in humility, that we are not gods. We acknowledge that we cannot fully plumb the depths of your thoughts and your ways, but we trust in You because of your promises and faithfulness to us. Our hope is in You, day after day after day. Amen.
