PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 27: FRIDAY
Thy kingdom come
Wise Sovereign, when we pray for your
reign to come to fullness among us, we know that we are praying for something
that we cannot create. We have neither the wisdom nor the power to bring your
reign.
We pray that You will act among us by your
empowering Spirit. And we pray that You will act behind the scenes in ways that
we cannot predict or control in order to show that You are indeed Sovereign.
Help us not to abandon hope that You will,
ultimately, accomplish what You have started: creating a people who reflect
your glory and act as your agents in the world, bringing widespread justice and
peace, and healing all of creation.
We hope in
You even as we pray that the kingdoms of the world will belong fully to You and
your Anointed One, Jesus Christ. We sing our
hallelujahs now, but we await the day when we will sing them with all of
creation. Amen.
