Sunday Supplication - Third Sunday of Advent

O Lord, move in our hearts with your great might. Work in our lives with your power. Through your boundless grace and mercy, deliver us from the sins that entangle and destroy us.

Thank you for the forgiveness and renewal you have given to us through Christ Jesus. Help us, as your people, to extend that same forgiveness to any and all who have sinned against us. Help your Church to be a community of grace. Make each local expression of your Church, in every place it exists on earth, to have a redemptive and healing impact on the world around it.

O God, thank you for the forgiveness and life we have through Jesus. You have promised that whoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life. May all who seek you find you, O God. Help us to recognize Christ as King. Give us the willingness and the wisdom to make room for his saving and shaping work in our lives.

It is in his Name that we pray all these things. Amen.
