Prayer for April 26-May 2, 2020
Sermon Text: Luke 24:13-35
That we may be inflamed with love for You and for each other
God, we rejoice that You have raised Jesus
from the dead. And we rejoice that Jesus is able to reveal himself to us, even
when our understanding of your instruction is shallow and our senses are dull.
We rejoice in the gift of Jesus’ presence.
We rejoice in the directness with which he challenges and teaches us. We praise
and thank You for the communion that we are invited to share, with Christ
Jesus, and with our sisters and brothers in faith.
You have shaped our lives so that we may
receive your presence, even when You reveal yourself to us in unexpected ways.
You have shaped our lives so that we may strengthen one another by our words of
comfort, instruction, and witness.
We rejoice that Jesus’ presence still has
the power to stir our hearts and set them ablaze. Inflame us with love for one
another and for ministry in this world which You loved with such great love.
Help us to give our lives as fully as Jesus gave his. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
