Prayer for November 8-14, 2020
Sermon Text: Matthew 25:1-13 

That we may have full hearts and a clear vision for your presence among us

You who will make all things new, enable us to live in constant readiness for You. Enable us to live as diligent servants, even when there seems to be no urgency because we do not know the day or hour when the consummation of your promises will occur. Enable us to practice compassion and generosity toward those who lack resources that we have received in good measure.

Forgive us when we are lackadaisical and want to do as little as possible in service of our sisters and brothers in faith. Forgive us when we act without compassion and look past the many needs that burden our neighbors. Forgive us when we push the presence of your reign out of our minds and focus only on the things that are most attractive to us at the moment.

Give us full hearts and clear vision for the presence of your reign among us. Enable us to stand firm, in faith, each new day. Amen.
