Prayer for December 16-22, 2018
Sermon Text: Luke 3:7-18
That
we may produce good fruit for your just reign
God of just judgment, we await with anticipation the day when your reign
will fill earth as fully as it now fills heaven. Some days we have little hope
because our eyes are filled with images of violence and deceit. Some days we
have little hope because we realize the depths of our own deceitfulness and
greed. Infuse us with new hope for the future You are creating in your
faithfulness.
Melt our resistance to your word. Rebuke us when we point to our
heritage as a substitute for living in faithful, fruitful ways.
Enable us to hear your ongoing call to repentance. Let your Spirit fill
us and ignite change among us that will prepare the way so that others may live
freely, fruitfully, and full of joy in your peaceful reign. Amen.
