Prayer for September 25-October 1, 2016
Sermon Text: Jeremiah
32:1-3a, 6-15
That
our lives may be more fully attuned to your covenant love
God of knowledge and wisdom, we rejoice and trust in You. We seek your
face today.
But we confess that we frequently close our ears and our hearts to your
word, so that we are ignorant of those aspects of our lives that are out of
tune with your covenant love and in need of correction and transformation.
We confess that we expect a future of limited possibilities, and so we
do all we can to try to secure our lives for ourselves instead of trusting that
You, in your great faithfulness and creativity, will create and secure our
lives anew.
Speak your prophetic word to us through any agent You choose. Enable us
to hear. Enable us to turn from the sin You have already defeated. Enable us to
hope in You for real life. Amen.
