Prayer for May 29-June 4, 2016
Sermon Text: Luke 7:1-10
That
we will recognize and obey the authority of Jesus
O God, give us bold, deep trust that begins in humility. Enable us to
recognize the authority that Jesus has for every dimension of our lives and
turn to him, in trust, for the fulfillment of every need. Help us, at the same
time, to act in obedience to every word of instruction and command that we
receive from him.
Forgive us when we act as though we are a law unto ourselves, completely
autonomous in all of our decision-making. Forgive us when we think we are
self-sufficient and in need of no one. Shatter these delusions!
Show us the depth of our need for Christ’s presence and for our sisters
and brothers of faith who minister to us with the gifts of your Spirit.
We are unworthy of your many gifts, but You have chosen us as your
people, your children. You have promised your presence, guidance, wisdom, and
blessing. We take you at your word! Amen.
