A Prayer for Saturday, August 27, 2011

“Command Me to Come to You”

Lord, give us the courage to ask you to command us to come to you wherever you are.

Lord, give us the insight to understand the challenges and risks involved in coming to you wherever you are.

Lord, give us the daring, having asked you to command us to come to you and having heard your command to do so, actually to come to you wherever you are—regardless of how stable or unstable the footing seems to be—because wherever you are is where we belong.

Amen.

“Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.’ He said, ‘Come.’ So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus.” (Matthew 14:28-29).
