Prayer in the Library

Great God of all that I’ve ever known and will know

 I ask that you come at this moment in history and speak directly to the hearts of those who do not know you in the pardon of their sins. I ask that you compel your people to show love to this generations of unrepentant sinners. Help us not to give them the list of do’s and don’ts. You said that men would know us by the love we show to one another. Help us to display love for one another because we really have been changed… not just because we’ve been commanded to. We want signs, we wonders, but you told us that the only sign that a wicked generation would receive is the sign of Jonah. Help us to repent and love those whom we don’t want to love. Forgive us of our sins.

Help us to show mercy on those whom we think deserve it least. Help us to not be jealous as we see how much you love even our enemies and the disobedient. You signs and wonders would follow those who believe. Help us to believe, to seek justification through faith, not by works or by the law. Increase our faith; let your kingdom come quickly. We don’t know the time or the hour, but it’s not hard to discern the times. Prepare us, help us not to be enamored with being right about when; help us to be faithful, obedient, and diligent at all times.  In Jesus Name, Amen.
