God of the covenant,
through the prophets of the past and of today
you call us to live up to the challenge of the gospel
if we want to be your people.
through the prophets of the past and of today
you call us to live up to the challenge of the gospel
if we want to be your people.
Stir us up from our comfortable, self-satisfied ways.
Make us restless to hasten
the coming of your Son and your kingdom
and fill us with the fire of his Spirit
to bring the warmth of his love and integrity
into this cold, hurting world.
