Prayer for June 9-15, 2013
Sermon Text: 1 Kings 17:8-24
That we may be wise
and prayerful agents of your compassion
God of wisdom and power, we rejoice in your creative
energy. We rejoice that when You call us
to serve You, and send us to unfamiliar places, that You provide what we need
and enable us to trust in You. You
enable us to see your abundance even when scarcity seems to stare us in the
face. You bless us with your goodness
and bless others through us as well. By
your Spirit, You even allow us to speak true words that comfort grief and calm
fear.
God of all life,
enable us to be agents of your truth and your life-giving power. Enable us to pray with wisdom and insight for
those who are in crisis and bereft of help.
Answer our prayers by bringing healing and new life to those for whom we
pour out our hearts in prayer. May
others truly encounter You, acknowledge the truth of your presence, and trust
in You through our ministry and friendship.
Amen.
