Prayer for September 2-8, 2018
Sermon Text: (James 1:17-27
That
we may remember who You have called us to be
Father of heavenly lights, we rejoice in the many wondrous gifts You
have given to us. We rejoice in your word that birthed us as living signs of
your ultimate renewal of all creation.
Enable us to be guided by thanksgiving and generosity as we respond to
our brothers and sisters in faith. Enable us to hold our tongues so that we may
listen well to each other. Prevent us from erupting with anger that undermines
your righteous desire.
Enable us to set aside all evil and do what You have instructed us to
do. Do not let us forget who we are, but enable us to be the people You have
created and called us to be. Let our
faith be full and active—expressed through acts of kindness for the most weak
and vulnerable among us. Enable us to love You and our many neighbors with
unsullied hearts. Amen.
