Season of Christmas, Saturday, January 1, 2022
Today, we invite you to ‘Reread, Rest and Reflect’ on the prayers of the past week.
Lectionary Readings for Today:
Psalm 8:1-9
Ecclesiastes 3:1-13
Matthew 25:31-46
Revelation 21:1-6
We enter your sacred prayer space as inhabitants of your Holy City. You greet us as we enter and proclaim to us, “You are not only inhabitants; you are residents. Even more, you are key-holders, and heirs of all that is seen and unseen. It is already done; there is nothing you need to do to earn my inheritance.”
You call us to your new way, to walk your new path. You reveal your desire for us to remain in you and always seek you, even when we find ourselves in foreign lands. We keep our eyes on you and ask for your strength to resist the temptations from those who do not know you or your ways.
Today, we invite you to ‘Reread, Rest and Reflect’ on the prayers of the past week.
Lectionary Readings for Today:
Genesis 44:18-34
Psalm 37:1-11, 39-40
Luke 12:57-59
Inspire us to walk out your dreams for us. When others see us living for you and seeking your heart, stir in them the desire to know you more. We seek you in the stillness of this quiet place and celebrate your presence with us.
We seek you in the morning and thank you for the coming day. We seek you in the evening and thank you for your promise to watch over us as we sleep. You give us bread for the coming day, strength, peace, light for our path, and your soothing voice to guide us. Be our all-in-all so we will journey with faith and greet each other in a good way.
Today, we invite you to ‘Reread, Rest and Reflect’ on the prayers of the past week.
