Prayer for December 3-9, 2017
Sermon Text: Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19
That
your radiance will remind us that we are yours
God of Glory, we rejoice that You have made your face shine upon us in
the face of Christ Jesus our Savior, Teacher and Friend. Through Jesus you have
carried us like a gentle shepherd and governed us like a wise and compassionate
monarch.
We rejoice that You have not abandoned us to the mess that we tend to
make of our lives. You have not allowed our enemies to mock us excessively. You
have not forced us to eat and drink only the tears of bitter grief. You have
not refused our prayers in prolonged anger.
We need You! We need your Word and your Presence far more than we
usually care to admit. We need the radiance of your face to remind us that we
are yours and to enable our prayers and our praise.
Shine upon us that we may be saved! Shine around us that we may know the
truth! Shine through us that the world may know You in your glory! Amen.
