Prayer (Matthew 9:35 - 10:8)
Jesus -
You model for us how to bring Your will to earth as it is in heaven. You show us how to teach and proclaim Your good news, how to cure diseases and sickness, and how to have compassion on those who are harassed and helpless.
We are Your body. Give us strength to do Your work.
You summon us by name and give us the authority to cast out unclean spirits.
We are Your body. Give us strength to do Your work.
You send us out to be laborers of Your harvest and to proclaim Your good news - good news that cures the sick, raises the dead, cleanses the lepers, and casts out demons.
We are Your body. Give us strength to do Your work.
In the name of our Shepherd, we pray.
Amen.
