Prayer for August 5-11, 2012
Sermon Text: John 6:24-35
That our whole life
will be defined by your presence
Jesus, we so often seek You only for that which seems urgent
to us in the moment: food, drink, rest, relief from pain.
You respond to our
daily needs with generosity, but You offer much more, beginning with an
enduring walk in your company as your friend and coworker.
You give us your
own life and invite us to trust in You at all times and in everything, to find
our nourishment and energy in You, to find enduring satisfaction in You, to let
our whole life be defined and enriched by your presence.
We have discovered,
indeed, that You are our True Source.
There is no satisfaction apart from your presence. You give life each day and You give the life
of eternity.
We thank and
praise You with hearts and hands lifted in joy.
Amen.
I have posted early because Lorraine and I will be in Honduras, with Rev. Edward Lavaire and his wife, Karla (who are from Honduras), from July 31 to August 9. This trip includes both sightseeing and ministry. Please pray for us as we travel. Sharon Baker-Johnson is preaching at St. Nicolai in my absence.
