Prayer for August 12-18, 2012
Sermon Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2
That we may be what
You have created us to be
God our Creator, we long to imitate You by answering your
deep, sacrificial love with enduring and enriching love for our many neighbors.
Enable us by your
Spirit!
Disentangle us from
the lies that often bind our lives.
Quench the burning anger that sometimes consumes us. Forgive us when we cling to that which
damages us and our many neighbors.
Enable us to work
in ways that give meaning and bring healing instead of hurt. Give us speech that encourages and
strengthens our many sisters and brothers.
Let your Spirit move in our lives without obstruction, enabling us to
eliminate every response that divides us from those with whom we are united by
your love. Let compassion and
forgiveness characterize our action.
We are yours! Your children! Your image!
Enable us to be what You have created us to be. Amen.
Thank you for your prayers during our trip to Honduras! Great trip!
