Prayer
(inspired by Isaiah
64:8 and Jeremiah 18:1-11)
Gracious
God, I know that you are my potter.
You
made me.
You
redeemed me.
You
re-created me in Christ to be your masterpiece.
How
I thank you, dear Lord,
for
not giving up on me when I’m less than you intend.
Thank
you for your patience and mercy.
Thank
you for continuing to shape me even when I resist you and your work.
Help
me to live each moment of each day for you and your purposes.
May
I acknowledge you as my potter,
not
only through my words, but also through my works.
By
your Spirit, help me to do the good things
you
have planned for me so long ago.
All
praise be to you, O God, Sovereign Lord, my potter. Amen.
