Rebuilding the Community of God Rebuilding the People Ezra Chapter 10:1-17

Checking Our Bearings

Ask and it shall be given… …Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king… Nehemiah 2:4-5)

fear of death fear of guilt fear of meaninglessness

Nehemiah was bold in asking

Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ… (1 Peter 2:4-5, N.R.S.V.)

Knock and the door will be opened to you…

…“You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me… (Nehemiah 2:17-18)

Loving God, We ask for the gift of your Holy Spirit to help us pray as we ought. Holy Spirit: Help Us. We ask for the energy and vision of your Spirit for those who are tiring in the battle against injustice and oppression: for those exhausted by the struggle with poverty and hunger. Holy Spirit: Help Us.

We ask for the hope and comfort of your Spirit for those whose lives are overshadowed by illness or pain; for those whose lives are darkened by sorrow or bereavement. Holy Spirit: Help Us.

We ask for the peace and joy of your Spirit for those living in the shadow of war and violence; for those eaten up by guilt and anxiety and whose Christian life has become hard and dry. Holy Spirit: Help Us.

We ask for the guidance and strength of your Spirit for those uncertain how to use their time, talents and gifts; for those tempted to do what is wrong. Holy Spirit: Help Us. We ask for the love and courage of your Spirit for those reaching out to comfort the distressed; for those reaching out to others with the Good News of Christ. Holy Spirit: Help Us.

Loving God, We ask for the assurance of your Spirit to know your presence with us in our daily lives: in our relationships; in our work and service; in our worship; in our times of joy and pain. Holy Spirit: Help Us. In Jesus’ name: AMEN
