2 Corinthians 10: A Prayer for Boasting in the Lord
Monday, May 13, 2019
Yesterday we spent time with the 10th Chapter of 2 Corinthians, today we pray as we reflect . . .
St. Paul shows us his determination to work and be and live in Christ. I have always liked his phrasing which describes a manner of living in such a way that all we do and are is a reflection of the Christ in us. I must remember this: all that I do and all that I say creates the image of my relationship with God.
Whoever boasts should boast in the Lord.
Make us an instrument of your work, O God.
Through gentleness and clemency . . .
Remind us that our ways are not your ways.
For although we are in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh . . .
The world around us is such cacophony.
May I not seem as one who frightens you through letters.
Teach us your merciful justice.
We will not boast beyond measure but will keep to the limits God has apportioned us . . .
We want to bear ample fruit in your name according to our gifts.
Whoever boasts should boast in the Lord.
Remind us always that all begins and ends in you.
Amen.
