Prayer for June 28-July 4, 2020
Sermon Text: Matthew 10:40-42
That we may be drawn more closely into a holy network of welcome and love
Jesus, we are grateful for the way that
you welcomed us into your presence. We are thankful for the many ways that you
demonstrated hospitality – to children, to poor persons, to those who were
sick, blind, or controlled by oppressive spirits, to potential enemies, and to
others from whom You might have turned away.
Let our hearts be as fully open to You as
yours was and is to us. Let us welcome God’s presence and sovereignty in every
dimension of our lives, and enjoy rich communion that enriches and energizes us
for courageous faith and friendship.
As we are drawn more closely to You in a
holy network of welcome and love, enable us to open our hearts more fully to
the diverse people whom we encounter in our daily lives. Let us be agents of
your welcoming love who draw others near to your healing and liberating
presence.
We rejoice to be near You. Amen!
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
