Prayer for January 19-25, 2014
Scripture text: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9
That we might use
all of your gifts for your glory
God, we rejoice that You have set us apart and enabled us to
grow deep in your grace through Jesus Christ.
We thank You that
You call us your holy people as we find our identity in Christ.
We praise You for the
abundance of your grace that has enriched us in every way, including in
varieties of speech and knowledge, that we may say what You direct us to say,
and know what your Spirit reveals to us.
We rejoice that
You have confirmed the truth of the Good News of Christ Jesus, in many ways, in
and among us, so that our lives may reflect the new reality that You are
creating.
We thank You that
You have given us every gift we need for our time of waiting for Christ’s return,
so we may worship, witness, serve and live together in the knowledge that
Christ reigns now.
We praise You for
enabling us to stand firm when our faith
might waver and wither, or when we tend to become the obstacle that blocks our
own way.
We rejoice that
You make us blameless through our identity with Christ and that You enable us
to live our faith in more effective ways.
We thank You for
being eternally faithful and trustworthy.
All praise and
glory to You, God of all creation, and our God.
Amen.
