Prayer for February 7-13, 2021
Sermon Text: Mark 1:29-39
Sermon Text: Mark 1:29-39
That we may remain open to all You offers us in your matchless love
God of many gifts, we praise You for the wonders of your creation. We praise You for your ability to nurture and sustain what You have made. And we rejoice in the many gifts that You have given that enable us to walk in close communion with You and to minister in your name.
We rejoice that through the waters of baptism and the outpouring of your Spirit, we have been identified as your beloved children. We are thankful that Jesus' compassionate touch has brought many forms of healing to our bodies and spirits. We rejoice that You meet us in times of prayerful intimacy, and that in those times we can align our lives more completely with your life-giving will for us. And we praise You, that in your wisdom, acts of obedience give us greater energy for daily faith and ministry.
Forgive us when we forget or spurn your gifts. Enable us to remain open to all that You offer us out of your matchless love. We are yours by your own word. Amen.
