Prayer for May 31-June 6, 2020
Sermon Text: Acts 2:1-21
That we may live in generous, loving ways that are based in the unity your Spirit creates
God of all creation and all people, we
rejoice that You have kept your promises to your people, Israel. We rejoice in
the new creation that You were doing at Pentecost. We rejoice that You poured
out your Spirit without separating men and women or young and old.
We are thankful that your Spirit enables
us to understand each other in new ways. We are thankful that your Spirit gives
us energy to speak your word in witness to each other and to the world that You
love so deeply.
Forgive us when we resist the guidance of
your Spirit. Forgive us when we refuse the reconciliation that your Spirit is
working among us. Forgive us when we withhold words and acts of witness for
which the world yearns.
Let us live in generous and loving ways
that are based on the unity that your Spirit has created and now nurtures among
us. May everything we do bring honor to You. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
