Got the chance to sit down with Tyler Sterchi and talk through his sermon from last Sunday. And you have to hear the story about roof prayer!

I’d encourage you to listen to the audio if possible. But if not, here are the prayer prompts for today.

Prompt #1

Isaiah 55:8-9

“Indeed, my plans are not like your plans, and my deeds are not like your deeds,” says the Lord, “for just as the sky is higher than the earth, so my deeds are superior to your deeds and my plans superior to your plans.

Dear God, I acknowledge that you are far greater than I. You are God, you are the ruler of the whole universe. I am not. I am just a man. I do not possess the capacity to understand what you’re doing and why. I worship you for this. I acknowledge that you are directing our ways and governing our world. You are in charge…I am not.

Prompt #2

John 3:16-17

For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

Lord, I am sorry for attempting to boil life down to a set of rules. Forgive me for where I’ve judged others for failing to uphold my rules. I pray that you’d help me to understand that you have come to serve and love, and help me to do the same thing.

Prompt #3

John 3:8

The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

God, I embrace the mess that is your church and your body. I embrace the fact that you do not build according to a formula. You are infinitely creative and I accept and choose to enjoy my role as a passenger while you are the pilot. I trust you, and I look forward with excitement to see how you will bring your kingdom.
