Lenten Prayer - Second Sunday (February 28, 2021)
Sermon Text: Psalm 22:23-31
God, so often we are wounded in body and spirit, but we do not know how to cry out to You. We are afraid to declare that we feel abandoned by You. We are afraid to ask You to release us from pain, shame, exploitation, and anything else that might cause us suffering.
In spite of the suffering that Jesus and his disciples endured as they faithfully declared your reign, your new creation, we typically assume that suffering is a sure sign of failure, sin, or rebellion.
Enable us to cry out to You, in hope, no matter how challenging, or even unbearable, the circumstances that makes us feel abandoned, make us sense that we are wasting away and have little chance for renewal.
Answer us when we call. Deliver us from the jaws of death and destruction. Enable us to rejoice, praise, and give thanks to You for your acts of kindness and salvation. Let us praise and thank You in public, but only for your glory. You are great! We worship You without reserve. Amen!
