Prayer for the Week: God of Glory, your presence shines into the darkness. You are light, yet when the weight of the shadows linger over us and attempt to insulate us from your gift, we too often find that anxiety only exacerbates the lostness. Keep us close, even when we cannot claim your continuous and contiguous presence. Keep us close, so that hope is present even when light appears elusive.
Wherever we are, O Lord, lead us to those who are needing a hand to lift them. For people around our community who find themselves knocked down, whether by their mistakes or powers beyond their control, we do not judge…only love. Bring us alongside with a voice that is able to announce Good News and with actions that reinforce that Good News. We are thankful for all our sisters and brothers in this journey of life, yet so many are dealing with news that strikes at the very core of their humanity. For those who are dealing with a frightening diagnosis or undiagnosed concerns, we pray for your Spirit to work both with us and beyond us to bring comfort, encouragement and peace. Let us be mindful and discerning of your Spirt, while also being attentive to what is said and was is not said by those who are hurting. Make us your apostles and advocates in the ministries of grace.
We ask this prayer as members of the Body of Christ, as those who continue his work. Amen.
