Prayer
of Illumination
(inspired
by Exodus 13-16, Psalm 99)
Mighty
God,
you
spoke to your people in the pillar of cloud
as
they walked together in the wilderness.
Speak
to us through your Word today,
that
we may hear you calling us
out
of the wilderness places in our lives
and
into new places you have promised to show us.
In
the name of Christ, we pray. Amen.
