We gather as faithful followers to hear your teachings and learn from you. We enter your sacred prayer space, amazed and concerned about how we can measure up to your expectations, and enter your kingdom. You reassure us that you have already chosen us as your own and that your desire for us is to fall in love with who you created us to be.

Blessed by your name, Yahweh. In our bareness and emptiness, you bless us with your lovingkindness and provisions. We place our hope in you and look for your protection to supply our every need.

We desire to be surrounded by your perfect light, love, and peace. In your presence, all we see is good, coming from the fruits of your spirit. We will focus on all that is good, so all sin will disappear from our vision. Let this be our hope as we journey together on your Ancient Path.

Loving Yahweh, thank you for being our shield of protection and lifting our heads high. Thank you for sustaining us and for another day in the land of the living. We look to you, and not to our circumstances. Deliver and save us from those who are trying to destroy us.

We say prayers to you with every breath and heartbeat. We fall in love with you again each time we see you in our reflection, in creation, and in our prayers and meditations. Bring us back to you again and again. Place your songs in our hearts and on our lips.

Find us faithful, LORD, to your wisdom provided through our elders. When we follow their guidance, hold true to your promise to bless our journeys and direct our paths. Perfect our imperfect ways with your generous grace, and make true the decisions we make through faith.
