Prayer for May 20-26, 2018
Sermon Texts: Acts 2:1-21, John
15:26-16:15
That
we who seem as good as dead may experience your renewing power
Jesus, we rejoice that You have not left us to fend for ourselves as we
try to live faithfully in a world that is often hostile to meaningful faith. We
rejoice that You have given your Spirit as companion, comforter and instructor.
We rejoice that the outpouring of your Spirit fulfills God’s promise to
Israel, and that it enters and energizes your people for witness and ministry
without regard to age, gender and other distinctions.
We rejoice that your Spirit is a gift made possible by your resurrection
from death, and that we who often seem as good as dead may experience the
renewing power that makes dry bones live.
May the Spirit of truth and life empower us to live in alternative ways
to all of the deceitful and death-dealing practices around us. May we be your
Spirit people. Amen.
