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.
