LENTEN PRAYERS 2018: PRAYING THE DAILY GOSPEL

SIXTH MONDAY
Mark 11:12-25

Christ Jesus, make our lives fruitful for the reign of God. Do not give up on us. Do not let us wither away, but prune whatever is useless. Nurture our weary faith to new vitality.

Disrupt us whenever we turn our faith practices into commercial enterprises for trade in religious commodities. Forgive us for our crass materialism. Forgive us for forgetting the heart of our lives together.

Turn our focus back to God’s sovereignty and God’s reconciling plan for all of creation. Let us live in gratitude and welcome diverse people from many lands to pray with us. Broaden our vision and stir our prayers for all nations. 

Deepen our faith. Enable us to trust that You can provide for our true needs and do new creation in response to our prayers. Amen.
