Prayer 808


Holy God, we are thirsty for your word, and seek to learn your ways: awaken us to your wisdom, that we may stand before You night and day. Give us ears to hear your prophets, and shake off the apathy and hopelessness that seeks to imprison us. 

May we rejoice in the works of your hands, O Creator, from the smallest microbe to the ocean deeps. May we rejoice at your providence, and extol our place within the web of creation, which sustains us as your loving arms lift us up. 

Dedicate our hearts anew, that we may amend our ways and heal the hurts we have inflicted. Pour your blessing like a balm over the hearts of those who cry out for healing or comfort, Lord, Christ, and shield and preserve the joyous.

Amen.
