Prayer
This Teaching Clip made me think of you. Watch Matthew 6:11 by Jerry Flowers:
Matthew 6:11
Jesus echoes Israel’s exodus for our daily prayer - God will provide, not pharaoh, trust him.
Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread
PRAYER
CONFESSION: Lord God, you require us to do
justice, love mercy, and walk humbly before you. We
confess that we have not loved you or our neighbor in

They start to sing—and it’s not because they’re suddenly caught up in a moment of euphoria, inspiration, and wonder. “Hallowed be your name” is a longing to see God here and now, to know his presence in the midst of this mess. They start to sing as a way of praying, “Where are you, God? We want to see you. You are the loving Father. You promise to

Father, I come to You unsure, worn, and questioning my faith. Am I Yours? I feel like a striver, exhausted by my own failures. But I lay it all before You, trusting in Your promise that I am saved by grace through faith, not by my works. Let Your Spirit testify to my spirit that I am Your child. Help me to abide in You, trusting that You will produ... See more
Lord, I am at the end of myself. I don’t have the strength, the control, or the mastery to do what You ask. I am broken, raw, and desperate. Meet me here, in the chaos. Teach me to trust in Your sufficiency, not my striving. Teach me to rest in Your grace, not my efforts. Be my peace when I cannot find it. Be my strength when I am weak. Be my God w... See more

PRAYER
O God, give your judgment to the rulers,
to those who rule after them, your justice,
that they may judge your people in justice,
and your poor in right judgment.
May the mountains bring forth shalom for the people,

and save the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor.

O ancient love, processing through the ages:
O hidden love, revealed in human form:
O promised love, the dream of seers and sages:
O living Love, within our hearts be born.
O homeless love, that dwells among the stranger:
O lowly love, that knows the mighty’s scorn:
O hungry love, that lay within a manger:
O living Love, within our hearts be born.

May none of God’s wonderful works keep silence,
night or morning. Bright stars, high mountains,
the depths of the seas, sources of rushing rivers:
may all of these break into song as we sing to
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. May all the angels in
the heavens reply: Amen! Amen! Amen! Power,
praise, honor, and eternal glory be to God, the
only Giver of... See more

Loving God, our hearts are heavy with
the sufferings of this world. We remember the many
victims of political power and greed:
•
the innocent killed in war and violence;
•
all those who are tortured or put to death;
•
those who languish in prison and camps;
•
those missing or trafficked;
•
all whose lot your Son shared by being born when
Herod was king.
