Prayer for November 4-10, 2012
Recommended sermon text: Ruth 1:1-18; Psalm 146
(note: I was on vacation and did not preach Sunday)
That we may trust
You wherever You lead
You who are faithful forever, we rejoice that You are a God
of justice and compassion:
You advocate for
the oppressed;
You feed the
hungry;
You liberate
prisoners;
You give sight to
the blind;
You lift those who
have been abased;
You watch over
foreigners, like Ruth, who left her homeland to accompany Naomi.
You sustain orphans and widows, like Naomi,
who thought she had lost everything.
In your mercy, You
expand our circle of family and friends with whom we may walk and delight in
your presence.
Even when our
lives seem to fall apart—even when it seems that all is lost—You lead us and
accompany us and bless us on our way.
We rejoice in your
presence and trust You fully. Amen.
