Sermon Illustrations on Trust

Listen and Act

ONE:

Joseph is silent

He listens and acts

ALL:

Lord, help us listen

Still the noise around us and in us

Still the urgency and anxiety

Still the destruction and falsehood

ONE: Lord, help us listen

Break through with your still, small voice

with your calm and clarity

with your leading and light

ALL: You reveal the needed next steps

You provide all we need to make the journey

ONE: Lord, help us listen and help us act

Amen

Wondrous God

Father-Son-Spirit

Your joy is our strength

 

Nothing more

Nothing less

Nothing else

 

Grant us grace to receive you and your joy

Grant us grace to trust it above all other powers and plans

Grant us grace to bear it and share it as generously as you

 

For the honor is yours

The majesty is yours

and Your kingdom is at hand

Amen

Prayer for Holy Saturday

There are so many things we do not understand

So many ways we long for change and closure

Help us to trust you

even when the situation is desperate and out of control

Help us to follow you

even when the way unclear

Help us to wait and rest

even when every bit of us screams to act

Build in us a faith that endures

Even when we can’t see you

Or feel you near

Or understand

A faith that endures the waiting

The grief of now and not-yet 

The ache of in-between

The pregnant pause

Your power and goodness are never diminished

Morning is coming
