Prayer for December 31, 2017-January 6, 2018
Sermon Text: Luke
2:22-40
That
we may we trust You fully and be fully available to You
God of Grace, enable us to practice the glad obedience of Mary and
Joseph. Help us to be fully available to You for your purpose of reconciling
all things in heaven and earth.
We rejoice in your many words of promise to us. We cherish them and
trust in your ability to bring them to pass. Enable us to endure, in hope, even
when the fulfillment of your word seems to be delayed.
By your Spirit, give us wisdom, like Simeon
and Anna, to discern your presence, even when you come among us in surprising
ways and through people who seem like unlikely candidates for such a role.
When we have seen your Consolation and Salvation face to face, energize
us to tell the good news to all who await your presence in hope and to those
who are unaware of the hope You create. Amen.
