ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

September 26, 2019

Scripture: Isaiah 43:19

Look! I’m doing a new thing; now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it? I’m making a way in the desert, paths in the wilderness.

Thursday Prayer:

Give me the courage to act, not with self interest, but with the interests of Jesus. Holy and Humble God, you demonstrated courage when you humbled yourself – when you took on the form of a servant – when you chose to live the life of love – when you refused to take on the ways of violence – when you demonstrated peace in the face of death – when you showed mercy to the executioners – when the fullness of your heavenly nature hung upon the cross. Give me the courage to live for the sake of those who have no voice; have no hope; have no power; have no influence. When I live for them, I live for you. And when I live for you, I no longer live for the world that tells me lies over and over again. Give me the courage to follow your Incarnate Word, Jesus. Amen.
