EXCHANGES ON THE WAY: LENTEN PRAYERS
Day 6: First Tuesday
Mark 9:1-13 (especially verse 1)
Christ Jesus, we rejoice that the glory of God has been revealed in You. We rejoice that through You the prayer You taught your disciples, the prayer that many of us pray daily or weekly, has been answered, in some measure, and that the reign of God has come on earth as in heaven. We await, with hope, the day when that reign will be fully revealed and the entire creation will be aligned with God's gracious intention.
We rejoice that we have had glimpses of your glory in the beauty, intricacy and even terrors of the created world. We rejoice that we have sensed your glory in the preaching of the word, in the faces of our sisters and brothers in Christ, and in the lives of the poor--those on the margins with whom You so fully identified.
Align our lives more completely with God's intention now. Enable us to perceive your glory more fully. Enable us to walk in close fellowship with You and carry out your mission as You have instructed us. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
