A prayer based on Joshua 21:43-45 (Reflecting on Chapters 13-21)
Lord God,You provide everything we need - thank you.You give us food to eat, and clothes to wear - thank you.You provide us a place to live, a community to be a part of - thank you.Forgive us for grumbling.Forgive us for failing to recognise your generosity.Forgive us for finding our security in work, pension, insurance or benefits.Your promises are eternal and complete.You never fail.Thank you for the sure and certain hope we have in Jesus Christ.For complete salvation and the promise of rest - thank you.Forgive us for ignoring or doubting your promises.Forgive us for only looking to Jesus for that extra helping hand.We are sorry for our pride.Faithful God,Cause us to walk in your promises.May we look to you at all times.May we trust in your word.May we move forward with confidence knowing that your promises never fail.So Lord, help us as individuals and as a church, never to give up.May we battle on against sin.May we work on in the gospel.May we walk by faith, not be sight.And so with our eyes fixed on Jesus,May we see your kingdom come,in our lives and in our community.In his name we pray,AMEN.
