I am coming home to you today, O LORD, and thank you for…
We hold to the hope that you are fixing this broken world. Creation has been crying to you. We also cried with creation in the wilderness. Stretch forth your healing across this landscape, LORD, so our cries will be answered and peace will be restored.
Thank you, Jesus, for being the same today, yesterday, and forever. Adonai, your love is constant. Thank you, our strength comes from you, God. With joy, we sing your praises. Thank you for suffering the ultimate sacrifice, so our sins are forgiven, and we can approach God with confidence. We are blessed.
We enter your sacred prayer space, responding to your call to wake up and sing. We have been still for a long time. We have been worshipping, working, and waiting for you to return. We are excited as you reveal your coming to us.
Today, we invite you to reread, rest, and reflect on the prayers of the past week.
