ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
January 11, 2021

Prayer for the Week
:
What do we pray for? For whom should we pray? O God, your love-filled vision is needed more than ever, yet it almost feels too little, too late. So many are lost in the echo chamber of their own lostness, listening to their fears reverberate back a permission to believe their anxieties, to glorify their insecurities. We need your love, and not some syrupy sweet, feel good, now let’s all hold hands and sing Kumbaya kind of love. We need a love that speaks truth to power; tells stories that will lay bare the ugliness of hate; weeps with Rachel for her lost children; confronts the sins of those with power and privilege; refuses to allow darkness to have the final word. Where does such a love exist today? In the church? Could it be found in a baptized band of misfits who cling to the absurd notion of love being more powerful than anything a fractured soul might conceive? Let such a love be enfleshed in acts of justice and uprightness from here to Washington and every other part of this nation. It is our prayer, offered with more than wishful thoughts, but with the self-giving hope and conviction of Jesus Christ. Amen.
