Merciful God, we do pray that you would open our eyes and our hearts to what you want to reveal to us today. As painful as it may be, thank you for those Isaiahs that you send our way to help us see those areas of our lives that are in need of your transforming grace. Remove any blind spots that have been blocking our vision of who you are, who we are, and who you want us to become.
On this Super Bowl Sunday, remind us that we are also on a team, a team that according to the Prophet Isaiah, focuses on sharing our bread with the hungry, blessing the homeless, and providing clothing for those in need. We want to be a team that not only worships on Sunday mornings but who also care about the injustice and oppression that we see and read about during the week.
Lead us to be your salty Christians who help others to see you in us. Lead us to be your lampstands who provide light for those who are discouraged and in need of hope. And we especially pray for the people on our prayer list as well as the many other joys and concerns that are on our hearts and minds this day. Send your healing, guiding, and comforting presence to all who are in need of you this day.
Silently now, we wait for thee, ready our God, thy will to see, open our eyes, ears, and hearts, illumine us, Spirit divine. And now as your team of salty and light shining Christians, we join in praying this pray that you taught us to say together…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
