Prayer for December 1-7, 2013
Sermon Text: Matthew 24:36-44
That we may remain
zealous in the practice of your merciful love
Christ Jesus, we await your glorious return with hope. We await the day when You will restore all
creation and your reign will be fully evident among us.
Stoke this hope,
by your energizing Spirit, so that we are always alert for your presence and
action. Stoke this hope so that we are
constantly doing the tasks to which You have called us. Stoke this hope so that we remain zealous in
pursuit of your will and in the practice of your merciful love.
Do not let our
attention be diverted from your presence by the concerns and events of daily
life, but let them move us toward You.
Do not let us become lax in obedience.
Do not let us forget that Jesus will return or live as though he will
not return.
God, we hope in
You. We long for the full unveiling of
your glorious reign. But we await your
timing. Amen.
