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.
