Prayer for October 8-14, 2017
Sermon Text: Exodus 20:1-20
That
we may love You with pure devotion as we love our neighbors in kind and just
ways
We rejoice in You, God our Liberator! We rejoice in You who give new
life and new hope! We praise You from the depths of our being! We celebrate
your presence among us! We declare that You alone are our God!
We rejoice that You have called us, as your people, to live life in
alternative ways to the religion of manipulation and the relationships of
exploitation and violence that are so prevalent among us.
Enable us to love, serve and honor You with pure devotion. Forgive us
when we try to manipulate You for our own objectives. May we seek, constantly,
to do your will to enhance your reign throughout your creation.
Enable us to love and serve our neighbors in kind and just ways. Forgive
us when we exploit them for personal advantage and gain. May we constantly give
high priority to their needs so that together we may thrive and be fruitful in
your presence. Amen.
