Prayer for October 13-19, 2013
Sermon Text: Jeremiah 29:1, 4-11
That we may rebuild
our uprooted lives with your guidance and energy
God, how hard it is to move on when our lives have been
uprooted. How easy it becomes to turn to
those who will fill us with false hope, or confirm the false hopes to which we
already cling, by saying exactly what we want them to say.
It is difficult to
settle into a reality that has been thrust upon us, difficult to build
something meaningful to replace all that we have lost.
But You provide
guidance for our places of exile. You
give energy to start life anew. You give
vision of a life of fruitfulness that enhances the lives of our neighbors and
even the lives of our enemies. You
enable us to live again!
Thank You for your
guidance, for the hope You instill, for the renewed energy that You have given
and given again. Amen.
