Sermon Text: Luke 11:1-13
That our entire life together may be an act of prayerful worship
Jesus, we rejoice in your promise that
those who ask will receive, those who seek will find, and those who knock will
have the door opened to them. Jesus, we are encouraged by your promise that God
is ready to give the Holy Spirit to those who ask.
We
rejoice that God has filled us with the divine Spirit and that the Spirit
guides us as we pray and energizes us for faithfulness, including the work of
forgiveness that runs counter to our natural inclination.
May your name be reverenced and set apart
among us, so that nothing rivals our devotion to You.
May your reign come in fullness among us,
so that all people and all things are aligned with your will.
Provide us with our daily provisions, so
that we may respond with thanksgiving and share generously with others.
Forgive us, so we may learn and practice
forgiveness.
Lead us in paths of righteousness and away
from those things that tempt us to wander from You.
Let everything we think, say, and do be an
act of prayerful worship. Amen.
