Lord -
We are Your people.
Incline our ears to Your words, so we may hear Your teachings, parables, dark sayings, and our ancestors’ stories.
Incline our ears to Your words, so we may hear You utter sayings that we have heard and known.
Incline our ears to Your words, so we may share Your deeds, might, and wonders with generations to come.
We are Your people.
For us, You divide seas and make waters stand, so we may pass through those waters. For us, You lead us by day with a cloud and by night with a fiery light. For us, You split open rocks to make way for streams to burst forth and for waters to flow like rivers. For us, You give us abundant drink from the deep.
In the name of the One who works marvels, we listen, tell, give thanks, and pray.
Amen.
