LENTEN PRAYERS 2018: PRAYING THE DAILY GOSPEL
THIRD SUNDAY
John
5:24-29 (I added verse 24 to the daily reading)
Jesus, Son of God, we rejoice in your
presence. We rejoice that the Spirit of God has enabled us to hear and believe
your word that God sent You. We rejoice in the new life You have given us and
the freedom You have given from fear of judgment.
Though death is near for some of us and
far off for others, we anticipate, with hope, the day when the dead will be
raised to life at the sound of your voice. We will receive that new gift with
great joy.
Enable us to remain attentive to your
voice and steadfast in faith. Help us to act with ever-deepening gratitude.
Do not let us be diverted by temptation
into doing evil, but let our lives produce abundant good fruit for your glory.
We make every dimension of our lives
available for your renewing purpose. We trust You to judge justly on the day of
your return. Amen.
