Prayer for April 24-30, 2016
Sermon Text: Revelation 21:1-6

That our hearts will be fully open to the future You are preparing

God of Creation, we rejoice in You. We rejoice that all things have their beginning in You and will find their conclusion in You. We rejoice that You are transforming heaven and earth so that everything will be made new.

We rejoice in your promise that You will dwell permanently among your people in your renewed creation. We rejoice that You will bring an end to all of the sadness and sorrow, pain, death and mourning that have been such a part of our experience.

We long to witness and participate in the great wedding celebration that You are preparing. And we yearn to live in unbroken fellowship with You.  

Keep reminding us of your promise of newness. Keep reminding us that your Spirit is with us now. Open our hearts fully for the future that You are creating. Let us hope in you, each day, as we await the fulfillment of all of your promises. Amen.
