Prayer for September 14-20, 2014
Sermon Text: Matthew 18:21-35
That we may release all of our claims on each other
Forgiving God, enable us to be generously forgiving with others, just as
You have been with us. Keep us from
keeping track of each others’ offenses.
Keep us from believing that forgiveness is a commodity in short supply,
or that we have fulfilled our responsibility to forgive when we have forgiven
others on a few occasions.
Help us to be mindful of the great debt You have forgiven for us. Fill us with gratitude and joy. Enable us to turn our faces to each other in
that mode of gratitude and joy, so that we may celebrate your great forgiveness
together and release all of our claims upon each other.
We rejoice that You have forgiven what we could not pay. We promise to forgive others by your Spirit’s
aid. Amen.
