Prayer for Illumination
(inspired by Isaiah 40:21-31)
Creating God,
it has been told to us since
the very beginning
that you are truly the Lord of
all that is and ever shall be.
You are the God of both the
prince and pauper,
of feast and famine,
of the mighty and the weak —
and yet, you do not favor the
strong over the powerless.
Remind us of your love as we read
the scriptures,
O God of True Justice.
Open our eyes – open our hearts
–
that we may be strengthened and
renewed by your Word.
