Sermon Texts: Genesis 3:1-7, 4:1-16, 6:1-8
Creative One, enable us not to be confused
and led astray from You by things that enchant us by their beauty or by their
appeal to endow us with wisdom, strength, or some other desirable quality.
Prevent us from listening to voices that would lure us to make a muddle of the
beautiful life of abundance and fruitfulness that You desire for us. Help us
receive your many gifts with gladness.
Enable us not to be drawn into competition
and comparison with others. Do not let us assess our spiritual well-being by
comparing what we have with what others near us have. Let us look to You with
unwavering trust in your faithfulness.
Whatever we do, enable us to live
attentive to your word and conscious of your guiding presence. Help us to make
wise choices that honor You and bless many around us. Amen.
Rev. Samuel Dasi from Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, preached. I wrote the prayer based on a brief description of his preaching theme.
