week of 7/18/10

Lord, You are our home, a home that we either run away from and long for, or a home where we reside, grounded in love and peace. Your hospitality and openness know no bounds, and that is often difficult for our minds to comprehend. And yet You open the doors, open Your arms, again and again. Open Yourself again and receive these prayers from Your people:

I recently left my church community because of a constant feeling of judgment & betrayal. I want prayer to help me trust a new community and find a safe place to belong.

Jesus, Your faithfulness and openness to all was relentless, even when Your heart was weary. We thank You for Your openness to us now, for the way You always open the door to us, whether we actually knock or even just think of knocking—You are there, ready, so ready to overwhelm us with Your love. We thank You for this and ask that You move and work and grow in the lives of all these Your people. Amen.
