Here’s
a responsive prayer of invocation from Joanna Harader’s Spacious Faith website.
Prayer: Open Our Ears
Whispering
God,
the
noise of the world is loud.
Open our ears to your still, small, voice.
God of revelation,
Open our ears to your still, small, voice.
God of revelation,
the
darkness of the world threatens.
Open our eyes to the light of your presence.
God of abundance,
Open our eyes to the light of your presence.
God of abundance,
we
cling tightly to so many things.
Open our hands in generosity and joy.
God of all people,
Open our hands in generosity and joy.
God of all people,
we
feel the fear of those who are “other.”
Open our arms to the stranger and the enemy.
God of mystery,
Open our arms to the stranger and the enemy.
God of mystery,
we
want so desperately to understand you.
Open our minds to the depths of your truth.
Creating God,
Open our minds to the depths of your truth.
Creating God,
we
long to know your presence.
Open our hearts to receive your love.
Open our hearts to receive your love.
