Prayer for September 30-October 6, 2018
Sermon Text: Esther
7:1-10, 9:20-22
That
we may be at your disposal for your saving purpose
God of mercy, we rejoice that You frequently raise up people of courage
to intervene for your people when they are in jeopardy. We rejoice that You
provide wise guides who enable your chosen agents to recognize crisis,
understand the kind of courage and action that are needed, and then respond
faithfully.
You have saved your people in so many circumstances, responding in
surprising ways and through diverse people who put their lives at your
disposal, and great risk, in order to serve others.
Enable us to put ourselves at your disposal for your purposes. Help us
to see that now is the time for many kinds of faithful action. Give us courage
to risk ourselves for You and your people.
When You act in saving ways, open our hearts to celebrate with great joy,
never forgetting all that You have done for us. We rejoice in You! Amen.
