Prayer for Today (6/11/13)

It shames us to admit, most holy God, to what extent we fall for popular perversions of your holy Gospel simply because we find them pleasing, attractive, comforting, and affirmative of our prejudices, our lifestyles, our goals, and our desires. Forgive us our self-serving gullibility, we pray, and give us the courage to hear and hold firmly your divine and eternal truths, even when they call us and the way we live into question and judgment. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Paul A. Laughlin
