PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 4: SATURDAY
Wise God, shape
both our individual will and our corporate will so that they are fully attuned
to your desire to create and maintain a world of peace and justice. Enable us to live fully into the unity that
You desire for us and that we experience as we enjoy unity with You through
Christ Jesus. Enable us to pursue
justice that enables all people, everywhere, to share in the bounty of your
provision and live as full participants in human community. Enable us to be wise and careful stewards of
the earth, your good creation and possession, so that its beauty and fruitfulness
are sustained and enhanced.
Forgive us when
we lose sight of your desire for us and for all of creation. Forgive us when we retreat into ourselves and
think only of our own well-being. Expand
our vision for the new thing that You are able to do among us, and liberate us
from our narrow vision that is based in fear and pride.
We long to be as
fully attuned to your will as Jesus was.
Transform us now! Amen.
