Prayer for February 18-24, 2018
Sermon Text: Psalm 25:1-10
That
we may be people of truth even under threat
God, we trust in You! We hope in You all day long and every day! We turn
to you in the midst of our many joys and our many troubles.
Do not let others shame us! And do not let us shame ourselves by weak,
ineffectual and fruitless faith.
Instruct us fully in your way – particularly your way for the
challenging sociopolitical context in which we now live. Enable us to see
truth, in its many dimensions, and act as people of truth even when surrounded
by lies. Give us courage to speak truth even if we must do so under threat.
Be merciful to us! Forgive and forget our youthful sin and rebellion as
well as that which has been part of our more “mature” years.
God, we rejoice that You are good, loving and faithful to us, as well as
to every people and all of creation. We rejoice in your love! And we commit
ourselves to deep, enduring obedience as your covenant partners. Amen.
