Lenten Prayer - Fifth Sunday
Sermon Text: Jeremiah 31:31-34
God of forgiveness, new life, and new covenant, we worship You. We praise You for your wondrous works of salvation. We rejoice in your daily acts of faithfulness. We celebrate your many gifts.
We rejoice that You have placed your word in our minds and written it on our hearts. Let that word provide the foundation for a life of fidelity and good works. May it move us to be a source of your blessing for neighbors near and far.
Forgive us when we intentionally cover and obscure your word and resist its call upon our lives. Forgive us when we still act willfully and allow idols of various sorts to undermine our experience of your transforming and renewing love.
You are our only source of hope. Your word, welling up in our daily thoughts, often reminds us of that. Help us not to ignore those reminders. We ask in the name of the One who fully embodied your word. Amen.
