COMMUNITY PRAYER January 10, 2021
Together we pray . . .
Together we pray . . .
Awesome and glorious God, how grateful we are that You never change, in Your love for us, in ways of looking out for us, in the promises You make that You always keep.
And then there are the ways in which You delight in surprising us, challenging us, to see how we respond when You send the unexpected our way.
We want to be people who respond like the Maji, proceeding in awe and wonder, to find out what You are up to. But then it becomes so easy to fall back on our routines, or to question if what we see happening is really real.
Help us to respond in the way You call us to, when we encounter the surprises, the adventures, the opportunities for blessings You send us, trusting in Your goodness. AMEN
