Prayer for June 2-8, 2013 
Sermon Text: Luke 7:1-10

That your authority will move us to bold witness and service

Jesus, our Master and Guide, we rejoice in your authority as it has been witnessed to by your apostles and preached in the life of the church.

We rejoice that You create, sustain, recover and renew your people and your creation by your authoritative and life-generating word.

We rejoice in the fact that many people have trusted in your authority and humbly allowed You to act in healing and redeeming ways in their lives.

We submit our lives to the authority of your word.  We commit ourselves to obey You with complete devotion.  We gladly pursue your commission to make disciples throughout the world because we know that the success of your mission is more dependent upon your authority than upon our ingenuity.


We await with hope the day when every knee, including our own, will bow to your authority, and every tongue confess You and bring glory to God.  Amen.
