Sermon Text: 1 Timothy 2:1-7
That love may flow through our prayers for all people
God of all, stir our hearts
to prayer. Guide us in prayer for neighbors and enemies, for leaders and common
citizens. Let love flow through our prayers for all of your children, even for
those who may never acknowledge you.
May our prayers enable us to
live Christlike, wise and holy lives. May our prayers be a catalyst for the
reconciling work that You have done through Christ. May our prayers enable us
to live boldly into the peace and justice that You desire for us and for our
diverse neighbors.
Do not let our prayers be an
expression of passivity or a way to escape from daily, often strenuous and
tenacious acts of faithfulness.
May our daily prayers,
individual and communal, align our daily lives with You. Amen.
