Here’s a prayer inspired by Isaiah 11: 1-10. It
comes from the Vanderbilt Divinity
Library website.
Clear
a Holy Space
(inspired by Isaiah 11: 1-10)
Laboring God,
with axe and winnowing fork
you clear a holy space
where hurt and destruction have no place,
and a little child holds sway.
Clear our lives of hatred and despair,
sow seeds of joy and peace,
that shoots of hope may spring forth
and we may live in harmony
with one another. Amen.
