Prayer for October 14-20, 2012
Sermon Text: Mark 10:17-31
That we may see the
multiplied blessings You have provided
Generous God, we want to be your people. We want to live the abundant life of freedom
that You have prepared for us. But in
our anxiety we are inclined to amass as much wealth as we possibly can. We are inclined to hold our resources close
and to trust in them more than we trust in You.
Forgive us. Liberate us from the snare that money, and
other forms of wealth, often become for us.
Enable us to see that our true security does not lie in the abundance of
our resources.
You have shown
yourself faithful in all things. Enable
us to trust in you with deep confidence.
Enable us to see the way that You have already multiplied your blessings
by giving us many places where we are welcomed and offered hospitality, and
many brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers in faith with whom we share your
joy and love, and with whom we sing your praise. Amen.
