Prayer for December 24-30, 2017
Sermon Text: Luke 1:26-55
That
we may respond to You with the willingness of Mary
God of new wonders, You are continuously announcing new creation, new
salvation, and new futures for your people.
We are unnerved by your presence and by your word. We barely know how to
respond, and cannot hide our fears.
You tell us (over and over) not to be afraid. You tell us that You are
graciously inclined toward us. You calm our fears. You make promises for new
life that only You can create.
You assure us that Jesus, who comes among us as your Child, your Agent
of salvation and newness, will reign forever. You point to wonders that are
taking place, now, in order to assure us that You can do what You promise.
Enable us to respond with the willingness of Mary. May your word be
fulfilled in and through us. Let us bear your presence into the world around us.
Amen.
