EXCHANGES ON THE WAY: LENTEN PRAYERS
Day 8: Second Thursday
Mark 9:1-13
Divine and beloved Son, we delight in your presence and long to stay close to You. Enable us to receive your words with open hearts and minds. Enable us to discern their truth for the context in which we live. Give us energy and courage to live as You instruct us, in complete fidelity to You and to the One who sent You.
Forgive us for the days when we are not inclined to welcome your presence or listen to your word. Forgive us for our stubbornness and for our self-centered choices that deny the priority of your reign among us. Forgive us for the times when we have rebelled openly.
Enable us to be people of humility and truthfulness as we await the full revelation of your reign. Let your word become part of the very fabric of our lives. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
