Prayer for the Week: September 14, 2015

Rev. Rachel this week explored what constitutes wisdom and how do we live it? How do we know what cross to take up, and what needs crucified in us so that we can recognize the true wisdom of a true savior? Here is the pastoral prayer offered by worship leader Matt Jadud. May it be a blessing for your week! You can enjoy the full service via the link and player below.

O Wise God

You have come to us in the form of a vulnerable child, a refugee, an outcast, a criminal;

You teach us that the last are first and the first, last;

You lead us on a Way to new life that leads through death.

Truly your wisdom is different than ours!

Meet us in this place and teach us your foolish wisdom

and your vulnerable power;

give us joy to receive it fully

and courage to live it foolishly,

through Jesus Christ, your Wisdom and Word.
