Prayer for December 17-23, 2017
Sermon Text: Psalm 126
Let
our lives reflect our gratitude and convince others that You are at work among
us
God of restoration, so often it seems that our quest for autonomy and
our pursuit of our own agenda makes us exiles. We find ourselves exiled from
You, exiled from our true selves, from the people who have most consistently
nurtured us, and from the places where we have felt most at home and most
whole.
While we are lost in chaos of our own making, You are at work, often in
unseen ways, to enable our return, to bring forgiveness, reconciliation,
healing, wholeness and peace.
Others are seldom able to see all that You have done for us, but we
declare: “God has done great things for us!” You have done great things over
and over, and we will praise You again and again.
Continue your work of restoration among us. Let our lives reflect our gratitude
and convince others that You really are at work among us, so that their praise
may echo our own, to your endless glory. Amen.
