Challenge Prayer

By Stephen W. Hiemstra

Almighty and Loving God,

All praise and honor, power and dominion, truth and justice are yours because you sent Christ to die for our sins and raised him from the dead.

We confess that by ourselves, we are lost and broken, unable to contend with the spirits of our day. Cast out the spirits that afflict us, cleanse our hearts, and redeem us for you alone.

We give thanks for the newness of the morning sun, the work that you have given us, and the comfort of family and church. Cast out the spirits that afflict us, cleanse our hearts, and redeem us for you alone.

In the power of your Holy Spirit, draw us to yourself. Open our hearts, illumine our thoughts, and strengthen us in your service. 

In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
