“For you were called to freedom,
brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but
through love serve one another.” Paul in Galatians 5.13
Gracious and almighty Father, this is the day that you
have made
And we rejoice in it.
Thank you... for creating us for freedom in your
creation.
Thank you for granting us true freedom in Jesus Christ,
And for enabling us to keep your law in freedom and love.
Thank you!
Repent us of shallow celebration; of poor stewardship of
this freedom; of neglecting our responsibilities, abusing our privileges, and
of remaining silent when you call us to speak.
Keep us from the selfishness that stifles freedom,
From the narrow-mindedness that limits freedom,
From the hatred that destroys freedom.
Enable us and people everywhere
To live under free government,
To hear your Word,
And to know true freedom in Jesus Christ, our Lord,
In whose name we pray.
Amen.
