Prayer for October 16-22, 2016
Sermon Text: Luke 18:1-8
That
we may be assured that your desire for justice cannot be thwarted
God of justice, enable us to pursue justice with tenacity. Enable us to
seek justice broadly, not just for ourselves, but for all who need companions
and advocates in their struggle to receive what is their due. Enable us to seek
justice without arrogant belligerence, but with prayerful and courageous trust.
When we are tempted to give up, let our sisters and brothers on the
journey prod us along and take us by the hand and speak words of encouragement.
Enable us to do those things for them too, so that together we grow strong in
our trust that You are leading us and that your desire for justice cannot
ultimately be thwarted.
Enable us, by word and action, to answer Jesus’ question: “Yes! There is
faith among us. Yes! We trust You! Yes! We are pursuing your agenda as You
enable us! Yes! Amen.
