Prayer for November 20-26, 2016
Sermon Text: Colossians 1:11-20
That
our lives may more fully reflect your glory
God of all things, in whose image we have been created, we rejoice that
You are at work in us through the prayers of others, and through the guidance
of your Spirit, so that our lives will more fully reflect your glory into your
world.
We rejoice that your Spirit is giving us more complete wisdom and
understanding about your desire to unite all things together in Christ Jesus.
We rejoice that your Spirit is energizing us for fruitful labors for justice
and peace. We rejoice that your Spirit gives us patience and endurance for
ongoing faithfulness in the face of resistance. We rejoice that You have made
us yours and that we share in the reign of Christ Jesus and the inheritance of
your holy people.
We rejoice, most of all, in Christ Jesus, who has fully embodied your
justice and covenant faithfulness among us. We rejoice that everything is being
bound together in Christ, who has supremacy over all, and whose great act of
service and suffering, on the cross, overcame our alienation from You, and
every other form of alienation, so that You will be glorified in everything.
We will rejoice continually in You! Amen.
