Prayer for August 13-19, 2017
Sermon Text: Genesis 37:1-36
That
we may dream and enact your dreams for your people
Giver of dreams, we rejoice that You occasionally allow us to see more
than we can see with our eyes. You give dreams that hint at the way that our
future may unfold. You give us glimpses of mysteries that can be embraced, but
not easily told. You pull back a corner of the veil that hides your astonishing
glory.
Sometimes, those of us who receive dreams act in arrogant ways. Some
tremble in terror while others speak too much or build shrines to mark the
places of your visitation.
Enable us to be dreamers of the dreams that You have for your people.
Then enable us to live into those dreams by humble, but courageous action that
is full of faith.
We know that the dreams You give may unfold in wholly unexpected ways,
but we accept such dreams as guidance and wisdom that exceed and eventually
expand our understanding. Amen.
