Opening Prayer

(inspired by Psalm 63:1-8)

 

Good and gracious God,
we seek you.
We thirst for you.
Without your presence,
we are as a dry and weary land with no water.

Together, we lift up our spirits and call on your name
that you might abide with us.
Bless this our worship of you,
that we might sing for joy

under the shadow of your wings.  Amen.
