LENTEN PRAYERS 2018: PRAYING THE DAILY GOSPEL
FOURTH WEDNESDAY
Mark
6:13-29
Sovereign God, give us courage to speak
the truth to those who believe that they may live without limits, who display
their wealth in ostentatious ways, and who use power in order to satisfy their
own egos, often at great cost to others.
Help us to remember that You are
Sovereign. Help us remember that no political, religious, or corporate power
has absolute authority over us, or full demand of our loyalty.
Help us not to be deceived or overawed by
displays of wealth and power. Enable us to trust You fully in every
circumstance. Enable us to live and speak truth without timidity, but also
without arrogance. May the spirit of the prophets energize us to resist every
power that vaunts itself by dealing in death. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
