Prayer for November 18-24, 2018
Sermon Text: 1 Samuel 1:1-20
That
the blessings we receive will overflow to others
Listening God, how readily You hear the cries of those who pour out
their hearts to You. You heed voices filled with grief and anguish. You
recognize the echoes of shattered dreams. And you draw near!
You draw near in words of priestly blessing. You draw near in the loving
touch of a friend, child, or spouse. You draw near in the hidden moments of our
daily lives in order to do wonders for which we no longer hoped.
You remove the sadness from our faces. You straighten our posture. You
enable us to move forward, in trust, even before there is any sign that You are
answering our prayers.
Giver of hope, we rejoice in the ways You surprise us by your
generosity. We rejoice in the myriad ways that You bless us. We rejoice that
You enable us to worship You by dedicating what You give us to your
service.
Enable us to let the blessings You give overflow to bless many other
lives. Amen.
