Opening Prayer: Thirsty Hearts


Here’s an opening prayer from Carol Penner’s Leading in Worship blog.

Opening Prayer

God of our hearts…here we are!
We’ve come with thirsty hearts,
praying that your Word will satisfy us.
We come with aching hearts,
praying for good news to comfort us.
We come with overflowing hearts,
praying for a chance to share your love.
You, who know our hearts and hear our prayers,
be with us now in this hour of worship.
Amen.
