Prayer for April 9-15, 2017
Sermon Text: Matthew 21:1-27
That we may accept your authority and sing your hosannas with joy
Hosanna! Hosanna in the
highest! Jesus, we acclaim You as God’s Chosen One! We honor You as King of
Peace. We sing, Hosanna! with great joy in your presence. We acknowledge that
You have come with divine authorization and authority.
You have shown us great zeal
for God’s reign. You have healed many by your powerful word and compassionate
touch. You have roused children to shout and dance in your presence.
You have also revealed many cold,
hard hearts. You have exposed what is already dead and fruitless. You have
confounded those who think they know all there is to know about God’s presence
and action.
Forgive us when we are
resistant to your life-giving presence. Free us to accept your authority, to
accept the life You offer, and to sing a thousand Hosannas with endless joy.
Amen.
