Prayer for January 5-11, 2014 
Sermon Text: (John 1:1-18)

That we may cling to Jesus in delight

O God, how often have we closed our eyes or turned aside from the light that You have shone upon us in Christ Jesus, your Living Word?  How often we have plunged headlong into confusion!

How often have we refused and turned aside from the true life that Christ Jesus creates and offers as your Emissary?  How often we have condemned ourselves to lingering death!

     Pry our eyes open!
     Enable us to see the truth about ourselves.
     Enable us to see the truth about You.

     Strengthen our hands!
     Enable us to cling to Jesus in loving delight.
     Enable us to grasp the life and freedom Jesus offers.

You have poured your gifts upon us in abundance!  You have given your gifts by showing yourself to us.  We offer You our deepest thanks!  We sing your endless praise.  We walk with You each day.  Amen.
