Prayer for May 2-8, 2021
Sermon Text: John 15:1-8
That your word will be the inner voice that directs us in the path You walked
Jesus, we rejoice that our lives are inextricably linked to yours. We rejoice that the Divine Gardener is at work to remove what is fruitless from our lives. We rejoice that the fruitful parts of our lives are pruned and shaped in order to make our lives bear even more fruit for your glory.
We stay close to You, and abide in You, because we know that we are dependent upon You.
Forgive us when we pull away from You, when we cut ourselves off from You, imagining that we do not need You and that we are able to shape our own lives in meaningful and fruitful ways.
Let your word be planted deep in our hearts and minds, so that it becomes the inner voice that directs us in the path that You walked. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
