Brian Niece on Prayer for the Week
27th Sunday after Pentecost
Sunday, November 16, Year of Our Lord 2008
Merciful God, forgive us for trusting in ourselves more than you. Show us your compassion, as we turn toward you again; remind us of your faithfulness and grant us the grace to risk our lives in you. We like to take the reigns of life ourselves. We can’t seem to consistently live out a cooperative faith. But like Deborah and Barak, like the good servants our Lord spoke of, like the church at Thessalonica, fashion us to communally live in the light of the grace you have shed on us. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit; one God forever and ever. AMEN.
