Prayer
(inspired by Jeremiah
18:1-11 and Isaiah 64:8)
As
clay takes form in a potter’s hand
So
do we in Yours.
Mold
us into human form.
You
are the potter; we are but clay.
As
words are shaped by a poet’s hand
So
are we by Yours.
Make
us Your song.
You
are the singer; we are Your work
As
threads are patterned by a weaver’s hand
So
are we by Yours.
Weave
us into Your plan, O God.
We
are Your people; You are our King
~
traditional Jewish prayer, recited on the Saturday night before Rosh Hashanah.
