Responsive Prayer
(based on Psalm 139, 1 Samuel 3)
God of mystery and of power,
nothing is hid from you, to you all things are plain.
Give us grace, O Lord, to hear your word and see your hand.
Your might and your strength are beyond all comparison.
Your love is greater than words can say.
Give us grace, O Lord, to hear your word and see your hand.
You call us Lord to a closer walk with you. You guide us into
the paths that you have chosen in your wisdom..
Give us grace, O Lord, to hear your word and see your hand.
Keep us from fleeing your presence.
Make us responsive to your loving call.
............... (silent prayer) ..............
Gracious Father, hear our prayer and make us new.
We ask it in the name of Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forevermore. Amen.
