Prayer to be like Paul
By Stephen W. Hiemstra
Almighty Father,
All praise and honor, power and dominion, truth and justice are yours because you meet us in our daily lives and encourage us to look beyond the mundane to the transcendent.
Forgive us for our limited vision, our unwillingness to stretch ourselves, and become the persons that you would have us be. For your will for us many times is to make better decisions, not to wait for comfortable, risk-free answers.
Thank you for the example of the Apostle Paul who, though a persecutor of the church, was willing to listen for the voice of God and to learn from his mistakes.
In the power of your Holy Spirit, be ever with us. Calm our nerves. Grant us wisdom beyond our years. May we ever look to you in our distress.
In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
