Sermon Text: Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7
That we may act for the well-being of our neighbors and enemies
God of peace, enable us to be agents of
your peace.
Help us to be agents of your peace even after
we have suffered great loss. Help us to be agents of your peace even when we
find ourselves far from the place where we are most comfortable and at home –
where politics, economics and worship are all practiced in unfamiliar and even
offensive ways.
Enable us to act for the
well-being of everyone around us, even those we disagree with, those who have
caused us harm, and those we identify as enemies.
May we be guided, in every situation, by
the values and actions of Christ Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who has brought
great blessing to us at great cost to himself. Amen.
