Prayer for September 16-22, 2012
Sermon Text: Mark 8:27-38
That we may see what
is important and lifegiving
Jesus, we rejoice that You have revealed yourself to us as
God’s Anointed One. We rejoice that You
have called us to follow You and live in your presence.
We confess that we
are occasionally confused about your identity and what it means for our
lives. And we regret that we sometimes
obstruct your work among us so that You must rebuke and correct us. Forgive us when we fail to see You and
respond to You in faith.
Enable us to set
aside our personal agendas and our cultivated identities in order to follow You
and share in your suffering as You have shared ours. Give us clear vision so we may see what is
truly important and lifegiving. Energize
us so we may follow You with courageous obedience and receive your affirmation
when You come in glory. Amen.
