Prayer for May 17-23, 2020
Sermon Text: John 14:15-21
That our obedience may be a gift of love for Christ Jesus
Jesus, we rejoice that You have not left
us defenseless or resourceless, or otherwise on our own. We rejoice that You
have given us your own Spirit to continue the work that You did among us. You
have given us your Spirit to be our Advocate, Guide, and Instructor in the host
of situations that challenge and tempt us. We thank You for your generous gift.
We rejoice that, by your Spirit, You have
enabled us to obey your word and live in unity with You and with each other.
Our life is in You. And because You are with us in this way that is so full of mystery,
we are often able to live beyond the perceived limits of our abilities.
Receive our lives as a living offering.
Receive our obedience as a gift of love enabled by your own presence and love.
May your love touch many lives through us and bring them close to You. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
