Lord –
For our sake You do not keep silent nor do You rest.
You desire for our vindication to shine like the dawn and for our salvation to shine like a burning torch. May it be so, and may others see our dawns arising and our torches blazing.
Your mouth shall call us by a new name.
Instead of Forsaken and Desolate, we shall be called My Delight Is in Her.
We shall be a crown of beauty – a royal diadem – in Your hand. May You rejoice over us as a lover rejoices over their beloved.
In the name of the One who delights in us, we pray.
Amen.
