A Congregation at Prayer ~ The Fourth Petition of the Lord's Prayer

1/5/2016

0 Comments

 
CATECHESIS NOTES FOR THE WEEK–The Fourth Petition–We cry out to God for mercy and pray for the strength to live in hope for His Second Coming. He will set us free from our sin, once and for all. He will free us from the corruption of this present age and bring forth the eternal kingdom of His salvation.  We, as penitent sinners, cry “Hosanna to the Son of David!  Save us now Lord!  You are our King and Deliverer.  Rescue us from the threatening perils of our sin and save us by Your mighty deliverance!”  The Lord hears and answers our prayers.  He teaches us to carry the cross of affliction and to live in the blessed hope of His coming.  He answers our prayers according to His Word so that we might live confidently and joyfully, even as we struggle against the weaknesses of the flesh in a fallen world.  It is because of the promise of God’s grace and mercy to us in Christ that we have every reason to “rejoice in the Lord always.”  Casting every care upon Him with faith in the Savior to hear, answer, uphold, and strengthen us, we live confidently and are guarded and kept in the true faith by our faithful Lord who comes to us, even now, in His precious Gospel and life-giving sacraments.
