Throughout our new series “The Final Word: Knowing Christ through Hebrews,” I am writing prayers related to the text on which we are preaching each week. This prayer is drawn from Hebrews 10:19-39. The complete list of prayers inspired by Hebrews is included at the bottom of this post. You can also view the message Pastor Dan Ryan preached drawn from this passage “Persevere,” here.
We draw near to You, God, because of Jesus,
the One who washes us clean and makes free.
We approach you with our hearts that are real
and deep conviction that You are for us.
We admit to You, God, that we
are wishy-washy in our commitment.
As the old hymn says, “prone to wander”—
Lord, we feel it.
Change us from the inside out that we
might persevere in our life of faith
even when troubles surround and trials rise up
may we continue to seek You and live for You.
Unchanging God, You are our hope
and we fix our faith-filled eyes on You,
until the day when we see You face to face,
we pray in Your name, Triune God,
Amen.
