Prepare Us for the Kingdom: A Prayer

In this time and place, we pause to ask God to shape our hearts and our lives for the nearness of the kingdom that is already among us.

God of the kingdom that draws near,

you did not send us a gospel of control,

but a gospel of good news for the poor,

release for the captive,

and hope for a broken world.

When we are tempted to trade witness for power,

call us back.

When comfort dulls our hunger for justice,

wake us up.

When the cross becomes a symbol we carry

instead of a way we follow,

recenter our lives.

Give us the courage to bear witness without domination,

to seek justice without fear,

and to love our neighbors—especially the poor—as signs of your reign.

Fill us again with your Spirit,

that we may live as people of hope,

people of generosity,

people shaped not by empire,

but by your kingdom.

We offer ourselves to you,

trusting that your way still leads to life.

Amen.

I’m Horace McMillon.

This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Peace be with you.
