Here’s
an opening invocation inspired by the vine imagery in Isaiah 5 and Psalm
80. It was written by Henrietta Stith
Andrews.
Prayer of Invocation
(inspired by Isaiah
5: 1-7, Psalm 80)
Most
Gracious God
we
greet you once again in this sacred space.
We
have come because we need to be reminded
of
your love and your expectations for our living.
We
are like the vine you planted, watered and protected.
We
know in our hearts
that
we need, want and desire your presence in our lives.
So
we come in prayer
and
listen for your Word to speak to our hearts
and
reveal again your desires for us. Amen.
