Prayer for September 13-19, 2020
Sermon Text: Exodus 14:19-31
Sermon Text: Exodus 14:19-31
That we may be free of every form of bondage as we live in covenant communion with You
God of freedom, guide us into true freedom
that is based in trusting, following, and obeying You.
Free us from the control of the false
idols that we have shaped, or allowed others to shape for us – including
wealth, social convention, a particular political point of view, military
power, unlimited choice, and many other things.
Free
us from oppression, or, more likely in our case, oppressing others through the
predatory actions of our corporations, economy, and military forces.
Free us from our addictions and fears.
Free us from the sins that often control
us.
Help us remember that You are
able to undo every form of bondage. Let us call on your name, boldly, to free
us from every snare. Help us to realize, and constantly remember, that our
truest freedom comes from living in covenant communion with You and following
You into the future of peace, justice, compassion, and delight that You are
shaping for us. Amen.
