Prayer for June 19-25, 2016
Sermon Texts: 1 Kings 19:1-15a, Luke 8:26-39
That
we will trust You more as You instruct and help us
God, our Help, there are times when we feel that every effort we have
made to obey your word and trust fully in your promises and guidance have ended
in futility. We feel deeply threatened. We feel alone. We lose hope. We fail to
trust You. We forget all of the ways that You have been present with us,
provided for us, and empowered us for faithful service.
In the midst of our despair You meet us and provide for us. You nourish
and energize us. You draw us to yourself. You ask us what we are doing. You demonstrate your power and give us a
glimpse of your glory. You speak to us in the smallest of whispers, searing our
hearts and healing us in imperceptible ways. Finally, you urge us back to life
with new tasks.
Sometimes it seems that very little has changed, but we are able to be a
bit less fearful, trust You a bit more, and do as You instruct as You help us.
With humble hearts, we thank You for your mercy. Amen.
