Opening Prayer
(inspired by 1 Kings
19:11-13)
So often, we expect life to wow and dazzle
us.
But God, you often come in the still, the small, and the meek.
So when we're overloaded by constant stimulus and marketing ...
... we pray that you'd settle us with the unforced rhythms of grace.
When our hearts are dried up by apathy and cynicism ...
... we pray that you would open up the wellspring of your mercy.
God, we are seeking you in hopeful expectation.
You are trustworthy and good.

For this, we give you thanks. Amen.
