Prayer for May 14-20, 2017
Sermon Text: Acts 7:55-60
That we may witness, in truth and love, to what You have done
God of wisdom, help us to study and know the history of your people so
that we know where we stand in the long succession of faith, so we may instruct
each other, and so we can follow the courageous example of others who have gone
before us.
By your Spirit, enable us to perceive Jesus’ identity as your Chosen and
Righteous One. Let us see his glory that is derived from your own and let us
respond with appropriate awe and worship.
Enable us to speak boldly about the great work of redemption that You
have done in Israel, for the world, through Exodus and through Jesus. Enable us
to keep witnessing, in truth and love, to what You have done, even when we face
great resistance.
Help us to entrust our entire being to You. Help us to seek forgiveness
even for those who do us terrible harm. Enable us to follow Jesus wherever your
Spirit leads us. Amen.
