Prayer for June 24-30, 2012 

Sermon Text: Mark 4:35-41

That we may rest in You in times of unrest

God of power, we rejoice that no matter how severe or dangerous the stormy moments of our lives may seem to us, You are never out of your depth.  You are able to act calmly, and in transforming ways, even when we are inclined to panic.  You are able to bring calm, to create peace.  No situation is beyond your ability to intervene and save your people.

You have promised that You would never forsake us.  Yet we often act as though You have abandoned us and left us to face chaos alone.  Our faith often seems fragile or non-existent.  We are inclined to panic first and pray later.

Enable us to trust You fully!  Give us faith that is free of anxiety and courageous in the face of threat.  Help us rest in You when unrest swirls around us.  Amen.
