December 1 Prayer

John 17:11-21

Jesus shares his glory with us. His name protects us, guards us and saves us.
His very prayer to the Father is for us to live in them.

So our joy is found in their joy.
So the world He has placed us in will see who God is.

His name wraps around us with truth, the truth of belonging to something, someone beyond ourselves.

The trust Jesus had for the Father and in the power of his name is the desire he has for us to have.

Where do you need to feel safe right now?

What truth is awaiting your agreement for this day?

Breathe deeply the sanctifying grace offered through Jesus just for you.

‘Beautiful name of Jesus, we proclaim your goodness and grace for us to live in this day.
May we grow in the same trust you have.
May we see ourselves with you as you are with us.

Give us eyes to see each other in this same way.
Safe, guarded, protected and sanctified in your truth.

Show us how to live this out.
Slow us down enough to notice and listen to your voice.

Open our hands to let go and give out freely what you have given to us.
Keep us from judging.
May we live in the power of your name, which is Love.

‘In You do our hearts find joy,
We trust in your holy name.
May your faithful love be upon us
As we hope in You.’ Ps.33:22

Amen
