Today's Prayer
Scripture Reading: Luke 9: 51-62 Gracious God Sometimes even our sense of duty, and good intentions, divert us from following you. We’ll be right with you, but first let us bury our loved ones, say farewell to those at home, finish our degree, tie up loose ends at the office, let our children to grow up. We say we will follow you wherever you go, and we mean it sincerely, but we do not understand where that will take us or what it will cost us. We ask, do you want us to command fire to come down and consume those who do not receive you, and you rebuke us and show us that neither are we ready to receive you. O God, Jesus’ words are hard: no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom of God. His message is urgent: Follow me. Come now, without delay. His requirements defy our sense of responsibility and caring. Help us to trust and to follow. We pray in the name of Christ Jesus who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen. By Bishop Sudarshana Devadhar
