Prayer for August 25-31, 2019
Sermon Text: Luke 13:10-17
That we may celebrate with wild praise the many ways You work salvation
Christ Jesus, we rejoice that You came as Agent of God's reign. We rejoice that You came with the energy and willingness to enact healing as a generous and liberating act.
You created wholeness for those who were treated as less than fully human. You restored many to full participation in community life. You placed great value on those who were considered worthless.
Forgive us for resisting the generosity and compassion that You show toward those who are most vulnerable. Forgive us for giving greater value to our traditions than to the hurting people around us.
Enable us to join in your healing, liberating, reconciling work with generosity and joy. Let us celebrate with wild praise the many ways that You work salvation. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
