PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 28: SATURDAY
Thy will be done
Gracious God, we know that for your will
to be done on earth as in heaven, we must submit our will to yours. We must
stop resisting the work of your Spirit who shapes our lives for obedience and
for good works that reflect the forgiving, healing, liberating work of justice
and mercy that Jesus did among us.
Forgive us for our stubborn resistance to
your commands. Forgive us for hesitating to receive the lives of fullness and
freedom to which You call us. Forgive us for deluding ourselves into believing
that we are fully capable of shaping our own destiny to match our own blueprint
for our lives.
We would be wholly yours. We would be
obedient and faithful in every circumstance. But we have failed often, and we
cannot proceed without your powerful assistance and loving discipline.
We humble ourselves before You so that You
may align our lives with your life and your will. Let your will be done by us,
today, and by multitudes more as well.
Amen.
