Prayer for September 20-26, 2020
Sermon Text: Exodus 16:1-15  

That we may follow your guidance with tenacity, hope, and joy  

God, our Deliverer, your presence is not always as clear to us as a pillar of fire and cloud, but help us to move in the direction of true freedom, as You guide us. Free our minds of nostalgia related to the various forms of bondage that we have endured. Help us to remember the many ways that You have acted on our behalf, so that we respond to the challenges of our journey with robust courage and unwavering hope. 

Enable us to voice our needs and concerns, even grievances, in direct, clear ways. Do not let us become stuck in our grumbling. Do not let us give up hope when our trials seem too much for us. 

Forgive us when we fail to trust You. Forgive us when we do give up hope that You will guide us into the future You have promised. Help us to discern what is true, good, and just. Forgive us when we accuse faithful leaders of leading us to our destruction. 

Enable us to obey your instruction and follow your guidance with tenacity, but also with hope and joy. Amen.
