we humbly sit before you,
opening our hearts to hear your Word
and walk in your commandments.
Awaken us, O Savior,
where we numb ourselves to the needs of others,
that we may reclaim your empowering Spirit.
Trouble us, O God,
that we may be awakened to speak out
against the silences that breed injustice and oppression,
against the contempts that lay waste to our hearts.
May we trust in you, O Merciful One,
enough to place our hand in yours,
and make our lives living testaments to your grace and truth.
May we employ each breath
in the service of reconciliation and healing,
hearing the voice of Christ in the cry of the forsaken.
May we make our hearts a tabernacle for your presence,
O Spirit of Compassion,
and our lives an oblation of courageous service to You, O God,
as we pray for the special needs of those around us.
Amen.
