Prayer for January 24-30, 2021
Sermon Text: 1 Corinthians 1:10-13a
Sermon Text: 1 Corinthians 1:10-13a
That we will radiate your holiness, beauty, and love into the world by our love for each other
God of all creation, we worship You. We rejoice that You have made us for communion with You and with each other.
Thank You for drawing close to us in Jesus the Christ. Thank You for drawing us close to each other by the Spirit of Christ at work in our lives.
Forgive us when we forget that the love in which and by which we flourish is both ... and. Forgive us when we attempt or claim to love You without loving the many people whom You have placed in our lives. And forgive us when we try to love the people whom You have drawn close to us, without loving You, making of them an idol that eventually diminishes each and all together.
By your Spirit, enable us to draw close to each other, to love each other, to nourish and build each other up, so that, together, we radiate your holiness, beauty, and love into the world around us.
We pray in the name of the One who broke down every impediment to unity among us. Amen.
