Prayer for June 6-12, 2021
Sermon Text: Mark 3:20-35

We hope in You and in what You are creating out of your great love

Loving God, we take comfort in your word. We hope in your promises. We rejoice that You have given us faith through Christ Jesus, whom You raised from the dead. And we anticipate, with joy, our own resurrection with Jesus.

Enable us to speak faithfully and boldly about what You have done for us. Enable us to live in ways that cause many to give glory to You through praise, thanksgiving, and faithful action.

In spite of the various troubles and forms of suffering that we endure, your presence and your word enable us to endure. You energize our spirits even as our bodies grow sick and weak. You enable us to see that our present troubles are insignificant when compared to the enduring life that You are preparing for us.

We hope in You and in what You are creating our of your great love for us. Amen.
