Prayer for November 5-11, 2017
Sermon Text: Matthew 23:1-12
That our lives may be aligned with Jesus’ instruction and example
God of wisdom, enable us to receive the instruction of Jesus with
humility then align both our words and actions with Jesus’s instruction and
example. Enable us to follow Jesus, the Greatest among us, in loving service to
our sisters and brothers in faith.
Forgive us when there is a large rift between our religious talk and our
public behavior. Forgive us when much of our religious practice is done in
order to draw the attention and gain the approval of others. Forgive us when we
shy away from important opportunities for service and try to shove them off on
others.
Humble us, if You must, Wise God, until we are able to walk before You,
and our companions in faith, with humility. Amen.
