Prayer for December 2-8, 2018
Sermon Text: Luke 12:25-36
Tune
our hearts to treasure what You value most
Generous Provider, we worry so much—some of us incessantly—but we
neither enrich nor lengthen our lives by doing so. Help us to set aside our
many worries!
Enable us to trust You more completely. Give us accurate understanding
of our true needs. Help us to receive your many gifts with gratitude.
Enable us to receive your reign with gladness and thanksgiving. Tune our
hearts and minds so that we treasure the things that You value most, that You
desire and make secure for us.
Train us to set aside all worry about food, drink, clothing, and
everything else we worry about, in order to seek the consummation of your reign
among us by acts of faithful witness, service and compassion—including
providing for those who lack food, drink, clothing and other necessities.
Help us to live in constant readiness to welcome your presence among us.
Amen.
