Prayer for October 28-November 3, 2012
Sermon Text: (Mark 10:46-52)
That we may hear and
respond to cries for help
Jesus, amid all the clamor and commotion of life, we
rejoice that You hear the voice that cries to You from the crowd. You hear the voice that others rebuke and
silence. You hear the voice of anxiety
and anguish and desperation. And You
respond.
You give audience
to those who are often cast aside. You
listen to those who have stopped expecting anyone to listen to them. You ask those who cannot help themselves what
they would have You do for them.
When You have
listened, You heal, restore, and liberate.
You generate new life that exceeds the thin hopes of those who cry to
You.
Jesus, we rejoice
that You have heard our cries. We
rejoice that You have turned to us and heard our requests and acted to heal and
liberate us. We rejoice that You have
led us beyond anxiety and desperation into your peace and joy. How gladly we follow You!
Enable us to hear and respond to
others as You have heard and responded to us.
Amen.
