Prayer for June 24-30, 2018
Sermon Text: Mark 4:35-41
That
we may trust You fully when chaos threatens
Jesus, we often face chaotic storms that threaten to swamp our lives or
capsize us. Sometimes we remain calm and trust You fully during the threat. At
other times we panic and wonder if You really care about our fate.
You do not panic as You respond to our cries. You calm us by your alert presence and by your word
that is able to bring order out of chaos.
Some days, however, your powerful presence is even more terrifying to us
than the chaos that threatens us. Then,
it becomes clear that we do not fully understand who You are and what You are
able to do among us.
Forgive us when our faith is weak. Forgive us when panic overwhelms
trust. Forgive us when we are terrified by your presence. Forgive us when we
underestimate your ability.
Calm us. Instruct us. Free us from our fears. Fill us with trust and
hope. Amen.
