Prayer for February 5-11, 2017
Sermon Text: Matthew 5:13-20
That
we may flavor the world with humility, justice, mercy, purity and peace
Christ Jesus, we rejoice that You have come as the embodiment of the Law
and Prophets. You have come as the fullest expression of the divine will and
have practiced fidelity to God’s desire in the fullest possible measure. You
have done what God’s people had been unable to do and what we can only
approximate by your example and assistance.
Enable us to be your faithful followers. Enable us to practice fidelity
that reflects the depth of your desire for the world.
Enable us to be salt and light in the world, particularly by our unity
as your people, which has great power to convince others of your presence and
reality among us. Let our lives flavor the world with humility, justice, mercy,
purity and peace that reflect your reign and move us toward the complete
reconciliation of all things for which You have come among us.
We rejoice in your presence among us! Amen.
