A Prayer for Friday, October 21, 2011

“For God All Things Are Possible”

We ask you, O God, to keep us aware of what we cannot do for ourselves—no matter whatever else we have managed to do for ourselves.

We praise you, O God, that what we cannot do for ourselves you by your grace and in your love do for us.

Forgive us for our efforts to attempt our impossibilities rather than submitting to and celebrating your possibilities.

It’s grace, grace, grace! It’s up to you and not up to us—Hallelujah!

Amen.

“When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, ‘Then who can be saved?’ But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.’” (Matthew 19:25-26).
