Luke 6:39-49 "Deep Roots"
A prayer, in the form of a collect, based on a bible reading for today
A prayer based on Luke 6:39-49 (Please click here to read the passage)
Christ, our one and only foundation,
You invite us to make deep roots within the nourishing, fertile soil of your eternal love.
When we accept, we find that you, the ground of our being, hold us firm and fill us with your life giving spirit,
So we can venture into the world confidently to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly alongside you.
Amen.
I hope you have found the prayer useful in engaging with this bible passage from Luke. I explicitly drew on 1 Corinthians 3:11 and Micah 6:8 for the first and fourth lines of the collect today. With the Micah verse I felt the 3 fold nature of acting justly, walking humbly, loving mercy echoed, in some way, the three parts of the reading today. Do please share with one or two people you know who may also appreciate a new prayer each day. With peace and best wishes, Steve
