Prayer for July 7-13, 2013
Sermon Text: 2 Kings 5:1-14
That we may direct
others to your healing care
God of all, we rejoice that your sovereignty, your guidance,
and your blessing operate outside the boundaries that we often assume for You.
We rejoice that
your knowledge, wisdom, and faith are available to people who seem
insignificant in the course of human affairs, people with no status or power,
unknown to us, yet known by You. And we
rejoice that such people are able to point to your presence and your provision
and open doors to hope that are not otherwise visible.
We rejoice that
your healing power operates beyond the fearful control of political
powers. And we rejoice that You call and
empower prophets who act for healing and peace with confidence that You are
able to do all things.
Finally, we
rejoice that occasionally those with power, status and success, including some
of us, are able to hear the promising voices of your servants and turn to You
for healing. Amen.
