A Prayer for this Sunday 8/16/09

Here is a prayer to prepare our hearts for worship this Sunday that I wrote this morning as I was meditating on 1 Thessalonians 1.

May the gospel of Jesus come into and proceed from this body of believers with power in the Holy Spirit, and may many receive it with deep life altering conviction. May we joyfully welcome the gospel into our lives no matter the cost to embrace Jesus’ kingdom. May the gospel message ring out long and loud from us. As it happened in the church of Thessalonica, may people in the city of Dallas talk about how people here turned and are turning from idols, saying no to the gods of this culture and how we are saying yes to You the true, living God. To do this we wait on our risen, rescuer Jesus.
