Prayer for September 10-16, 2017
Sermon Text: Exodus 12:1-14
That we may live courageously, energetically, and fully into your story
God of glory, we worship and rejoice in
You! We rejoice in the wonderful works of salvation and restoration that You
have done on behalf of Israel and for followers of Jesus.
We remember the Exodus and the crucifixion
of Jesus, especially, as powerful acts of compassion, that generated new life
and new hope as You liberated your chosen people from bondage to exploitative
powers and ensnaring sins.
Whenever our lives begin to disintegrate
and collapse due to our addictions, sins, and acts of injustice, do your work
of renewal among us. Let the communion we share together remind us of the
judgment and freedom of Passover, as well as Jesus’s generous act of laying
down his life for his friends so that they might enjoy abundant life in your
presence.
Enable us to live courageously,
energetically, and fully into the lively story that You have enacted for your
people. May our faith in You grow deeper each day as we assume the roles and
complete the tasks to which You have called us. Amen.
