Here’s
a responsive prayer of petition inspired by 2 Thessalonians 3: 6-13. It was excerpted from a longer prayer for
Proper 28C on the Oratio Contemplativa website.
Prayer
(inspired by 2
Thessalonians 3: 6-13)
God
of all love and peace, we come to you in faith,
offering
you access into every area of our lives.
We
pray for this congregation:
May we not grow weary in doing good.
Keep
us from idleness, that we may not be busybodies;
May we not grow weary in doing good.
Enable
us to do our work quietly in a manner that pleases you;
May we not grow weary in doing good.
Grant
us discernment to fulfill our vocations with industry and hard work;
May we not grow weary in doing good.
We
look to you, Lord of all, mindful of our helplessness,
Glorify your name in the midst of our need.
