Tuesday's prayer

http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/devotions/one.year.tract/

Lord, may Your church never become like Israel was; they hated Your prophets and killed Your Son. They cared only for themselves and cared nothing for bearing Your fruit in their midst. Lord open our eyes to the pain around our churches. Open our ears to hear the cries of our neighbors only a few feet away. Give us faith in the gospel and give us hearts that care. Shut our mouths and quiet our attempts to undermine each other.

Lord, by the blood of Christ build the body of Christ. Create pastors and members who are not concerned with seats of honors but are passionate to pursue Christ in opportunities for service. Raise up a people who are far more concerned with living their theology than they are with proving their theology. Your people, Your creation, are hurting. Lord, I see it help me to take Christ to it.

Amen
