Jonah 4:1-11 ><))))*> + ><))))*> + ><))))*> Luke 11:1-4
Lord Jesus,
teach me...
not only to pray
but most of all
teach me to grow
in you,
to reorder my life
in you by reshaping
my will and desires
with yours,
to desire what
you desire for me
and for others,
to open my heart
than twist your arm
to what I want,
to know and seek
what brings life,
what builds community,
what reflects your love
and mercy.
Lord Jesus,
teach me to be
angry positively
like you when you
cleansed the temple,
not like Jonah.
Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry that God did not carry out the evil he threatened against Nineveh…But the Lord asked, “Have you reason to be angry?” Then Jonah asked for death, saying, “I would be better off dead than alive.” But God said to Jonah, “Do you have reason to be angry over the plant?” “I have reason to be angry,” Jonah answered, “angry enough to die.” Then the Lord said, “You are concerned over the plant which cost you no labor and which you did not raise; it came up in one night and in one night it perished. And should I not be concerned over Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot distinguish their right hand from their left, not to mention the many cattle?” (Jonah 4:1, 4, 8-11)
Lord Jesus,
teach me to pray
so that I may trust you more,
so that I may be transformed
into the beloved child
of the Father
like you.
Amen.
