Prayer before the Dragnet

By Stephen W. Hiemstra

Almighty Father,

All glory and honor, power and dominion, truth and justice are yours, because you lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead that we might have the hope of eternal life. In whom else shall we believe?

Forgive our besetting sins, the ones so close to our hearts that we repeat them over and over. We confess that we love our sins and can only be rid of them with your forbearance and assistance. In whom else shall we believe?

Thank you for our families, our health, our means of support, and our salvation in you. Thank you for the opportunity to minister to others and expand your holy kingdom. In whom else shall we believe?

In the power of your Holy Spirit, grant us strength to live each day, the grace to witness to those around us, and the peace that passes all understanding, your shalom. Draw us to you—Open our hearts, illumine our thoughts, and strengthen our hands in your service.

In Jesus’s precious name, Amen.
