PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 3: FRIDAY
Sovereign One, we
rejoice to know that your reign among your people began long before You
breathed your Spirit into our first parents.
We rejoice that Christ Jesus acted as exemplary agent of your reign in
confrontation with power politics and controlling religion, showing forth your
desire through his preaching, healing, forgiveness and liberation. We rejoice in Jesus’ words that your reign is
within us. And we await the day when every
knee will bow and every tongue confess Jesus’ reign.
We rejoice that
in your wisdom, You are uniting all things in Christ. We do not know how the final consummation of
your plan will look, but we await it with hope and joy.
Help us live as
faithful citizens of your realm now.
Help us remember that Christ has already defeated competing powers. Help us live among our neighbors, and
confront powers and authorities, in such a way that they will know that we are
your servants and that You are ruling wisely.
Amen.
