Prayer for June 30-July 6, 2006
Sermon Text: 2 Kings 2:1-14
That we may live as
your prophetic people
O God, we want to be your servants. We want to answer your call upon our lives
even when that requires that we face adversity and loss.
Give us the
tenacity that Elisha showed as he followed Elijah, knowing that he would soon
be separated from his mentor and friend.
Give us the deep
desire for your presence and energizing power Elisha showed when he requested a
“double portion” of Elijah’s spirit.
Enable us to trust
in You and call upon your name, as our God, and God of our many predecessors,
teachers, and mentors in faith.
We would walk with
You in faithfulness, seeking your mercy and justice, practicing your truth and
love in a world that quickly turns a deaf ear to your voice. Enable us to live as your prophetic
people. Amen.
