Prayer for September 3-9, 2017
Sermon Text: Romans 12:9-21
That your Spirit will guide us into a pure love expressed through many acts of kindness
God of Glory, as you transform our minds and give us many gifts for
service, may your Spirit guide us into a pure love, that is expressed through
many acts of kindness as it builds joyful harmony among us.
Demolish our pride and conceit. Teach us how to honor each other above
ourselves. Enable us to enter deeply into the mourning and rejoicing of our
sisters and brothers.
Open our hearts for generous hospitality. Fill us with spiritual
passion. Enable us to cling to truth as we abhor and turn from evil.
Divert us from returning evil for evil, from fantasies of revenge and
hatred toward our enemies. Enable us to bless and feed them and to leave
revenge or restoration to You.
We
hope in You. We trust in You in times of prosperity and in the midst of
affliction and suffering. May everything we do give evidence that You are doing
something new among us. Amen.
