Gospel Reading: John 8:31-38
Gospel Reading: John 8:31-38
Jesus, help us to hear and obey your instruction. Help us to follow in the way that You lead us. Let your life guide the shape of our discipline. As we obey your commands, show us the truth, and free us from all that binds and enslaves us.
Do not let us use our heritage in faith, our national heritage, or any other traditions that have shaped our lives, as justification for resistance to your call to a more robust and risky faith that expresses the true freedom that You wish to create among us.
Forgive us when we allow ourselves to be deceived by the deadly ways of violence. Forgive us when we cling to lies for our own advantage, at least as we imagine it.
Let us live as full participants in God's family, God's reign, and honor You by the way that we heed your words and follow your example. May your Spirit give us the energy and courage we need to live as the new people God was creating through You. Amen.
