As we wind down a weekend of celebration here in the United States, I would like to share a prayer with all of you. How blessed we are to live in freedom; to be able to worship Jesus without any restrictions or fear of persecution. God has certainly spoiled us in this part of the world.
Father in heaven, we come to you in the name of Jesus. Father, we give you thanks for the freedom that you have given us; for the gift of your son Jesus Christ. We ask that you forgive us for our disobedience; that you would cleanse us with the blood of the Lamb. We call upon your Holy Spirit to guide us in our daily walk with Jesus; to show us your will and to help us be obedient to your Word. Show us how to love our enemies as you loved us, and help us be more like Jesus. Lord, it is our humble privilege to fall down before you and to serve you for all the days of our lives. We are not worthy, but we are so very thankful that you called us and delivered us from our own wretchedness. With tears in our eyes, we declare that you are worthy of our praise; that your name is above all. We pray in one accord, in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
