This is the closing prayer…and pretty much the jest of the sermon for this coming Sunday.
Father, we are tired of struggling…tired of trying… tired of wrestling and fighting.
Father, we give up, we quit, we are not going to try anymore.
We are not going to work at it. We are not going to be religious anymore.
Instead, we are just going to trust you. Jesus, you are my life – so live your life through me, right now, through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.
God, help us believe the truth about ourselves, no matter how beautiful it is.
Jesus, help me to remember you gave your life for us, to put your life in us, to live your life through us.
With that in mind, we ask only one thing. What do you want to do though us today?
WHY THIS PICTURE? It is VERY HOT today! Makes me appreciate a blizzard!
