Lord –
You led us through the wilderness, deserts, and pits…through drought, deep darkness, and loneliness.
You brought us into a plentiful land to eat its fruits and its good things.
Yet, we went far from You and pursued worthless things.
Forgive us for exchanging Your glory for something that does not profit. Forgive us for forsaking the fountain of living water and turning to cracked cisterns that hold no water.
May we hear Your word, examine our lives with care, and wonder where You are in our midst.
Amen.
