Prayer for February 14-20, 2021
Sermon Text: Mark 9:2-9

That we may listen with our whole being to the instruction and command of Jesus

Jesus, we long to walk close beside You. We long to see the power of God's reign touch the world through You. We long to be dazzled by your beauty and radiance. We long to comprehend, more fully, the way that your life, your presence, fulfills the instruction, warning, and promise that Moses and Elijah represent for your people Israel.

God, enable us to obey You and listen with our whole being to the instruction and command of Jesus. Let us draw from his wisdom. Let us follow in his ways. Let us practice the compassion that he showed for those who were "like sheep without a shepherd."

Spirit, draw us together. Enable us to be the compassionate community of Jesus in a world that is usually most interested in accumulating commodities and exercising control over others. May your freedom blow through our lives and liberate us for new life and transforming service. Amen.
