Prayer for February 4-10, 2018 
Sermon Text: Mark 1:29-39

That we may sing fresh hallelujahs as we follow You as agents of good news

Jesus, You are constantly surprising as You instruct God’s people in God’s wisdom and act in powerful ways to bring healing and enact liberation from every oppressive spirit.

You spoke and do speak with passion and love. You touched and do touch many fragmented lives and make them whole. You are worthy of our deepest praise and we give it gladly. Hallelujah!

You are no less surprising in your retreat to solitary prayer. You seem so self-sufficient and self-contained, to us, that we easily forget that your ministry was, from first to last, guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit.   

Even now, your ministry among us is energized by the Spirit who moves among us like a fresh breeze or newfound breath.  

From this newfound breath we sing fresh “Hallelujahs!” and by your Spirit we follow You as agents of good news, deep healing, and joyful liberation. Amen.
