Sunday Supplication - Truly Alive in Christ

O Lord, you have taught us what love is and what it does. And your word tells us that without love, the things we do are nothing. We ask that through your Holy Spirit you would fill our hearts with love.

May the great gift of your love bring us together in peace. May your love move us toward holiness and virtue. May your love make us truly alive in Christ.

Lead us away from temptation. Free us from selfishness and pride. Give us the honesty and humility to recognize our need for your grace and mercy. Forgive us our sins and make us ready to forgive others.

You reign over all things, O God.  May your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. By your power and grace, help us to follow Christ and yield to his Lordship. Help us to be faithful in our walk with you. Make us a testimony of your saving grace.

Grant us hearts and hands that are ready and quick to serve in your name. Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever!

Amen.
