St. Nicolai Notes

Prayer for April 25-May 1, 2021
Sermon Text: John 10:11-18

That the din of the world around us will not undermine our loyalty to You

We rejoice in You, Good Shepherd! We thank You for expressing the depths of God’s love by giving your life completely for our benefit and for the glory of the Holy One.

Thank You for staying near when we are under attack by deadly predators that would devour us or undermine our trust in God.

Thank You for revealing yourself to us, knowing us, and calling us by name. We rejoice in the intimacy that You have created with us.

We rejoice that You open your heart and your arms wide in order to welcome diverse people into the fullness of your presence and joy.

Enable us to hear your voice, and follow your leading, even when the din of the world around us threatens to draw our attention and our loyalty away from You.

We love You because You loved us first and fully. Amen.
