I will be away from my computer for a few days, so I'm posting early.
Prayer for March 16-22, 2014
Sermon Text: John 3:1-17
You who make all things new, we rejoice in
You! We rejoice in Jesus whom You sent
as your Agent of salvation.
We acknowledge Jesus as Wise Teacher. We thank You for the signs he performed in
the presence of many witnesses. We acknowledge and receive Jesus as Divine Son.
Yet, like Nicodemus, we are often slow to
understand that we must be made new. We
want easy passage into the life of faith, but find that our old identity must
die in order for us to be made new.
Sometimes this confuses and frightens us.
But we desire and thank You for the new
life You call us to and that You have created among us by your mercy. Let your Spirit continually move among us
like a cleansing wind that blows away anything dead and decayed, so we may
breathe in new life more completely.
Amen.
