O Lord our God -
You appear to us in dreams and say, “Ask what I should give you.”
Give us recognition of Your great and steadfast love.
Give us the ability to walk with faithfulness, righteousness, and uprightness of heart.
Give us an understanding mind that discerns good and evil - for we are but children who do not know how to go out or come in.
As we find ourselves embodying new roles in today’s shifting season, may these gifts from You pull us toward You and toward Your people.
In the name of the One who keeps us in our going out and our coming in, may it be so.
Amen and amen.
