Shared Prayer

God of all grace You have promised that when Jesus is lifted up, You will draw all men unto Him. Lift our hearts above noise and guilt, and turn our eyes again to Christ crucified and risen. For the believer who feels numb, ashamed, or far away, draw them with holy desire and fresh repentance. For the one carrying heavy pressure while caring for others, draw them into simple trust and quiet courage. We renounce every distraction that competes with Your Son, and we submit our thoughts and habits to Your pull. We confess that God is faithful, and we hold fast to lo, I am with you always. Let our worship exalt Jesus in our homes and churches, until many who are lost are drawn to Him. Thank You for drawing us, keeping us, and leading us back to love and obedience. For it is in Jesus name we pray. Amen.
