Twenty-seventh Week After Pentecost, Saturday, November 30, 2024
Today, we invite you to reread, rest, and reflect on the prayers of the past week.
Lectionary Readings for Today: Weekly Review
Psalm 25:1-10
Nehemiah 9:26-31
Luke 21:20-24
You called us to live in reciprocity with the rest of creation. Give us honourable hearts and minds, so we will not boast of our bounty, but rejoice that your loving kindness has shone upon the landscape and upon us. May our praise be a pleasing offering to you.
Remove all barriers of doubt from us, so we will trust you completely and give freely to others. Remove all resistance from us, so we will freely receive all you have promised.
Loving Yahweh, we praise you. Thank you for your favour and grace you bestow on us. There is no one like you. You are a prayer-answering God. We put our hope in you and you never disappoint us. You look upon us with loving eyes, reaching out for us and raising us up.
We enter your sacred prayer space through the curtain of Christ’s body. We dwell within your veil, in your Holy Sanctuary. Your promise is true, that you will also dwell with us and remain near.
We wait in your sacred prayer space for your guidance and direction. We worship you while we wait, knowing your desire to love us and provide for our needs.
We enter your sacred prayer space as narrative people. We all have stories of hardship and celebration, turmoil and peace. You have blessed our stories to cross paths as we sojourn in this land of the living. You have blessed us with lasting relationships with you and each other.
