Prayer for October 23, 2005

The congregational prayer for Sunday October 23, 2005 is an inward reading of a Hymn by Kate B. Wilkinson, May the Mind of Christ, My Savior.

As we bow before the Lord, our Creator, let us unburden our hearts in repentance to the Almighty.


Read silently with me.

May the mind of Christ, my Savior,

Live in me from day to day,

By His love and power controlling

All I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly

In my heart from hour to hour,

So that all may see I triumph

Only through His power.

May the peace of God my Father

Rule my life in everything,

That I may be calm to comfort the

Sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill me

As the waters fill the sea;

Him exalting, self abasing,

This is victory.

May I run the race before me,

Strong and brave to face the foe

,Looking only unto Jesus

As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me,

As I seek the lost to win,

And may they forget the channel,

Seeing only Him.

Oh God, our Redeemer, may it be so.

Amen.
