Good Words for a Monday

A prayer we prayed (I don’t know where it’s from) on our church’s Epiphany Retreat this past weekend . . .

Turn your face toward us, O God

In love, love us with justice, shape us with fire, renew us

Turn your face toward us, O God

With longing, call us. With redemption, forgive us. With grace, renew us.

Turn your face toward us, O God

With zeal, challenge us. With compassion, hold us. With freedom, renew us.

Turn your face toward us, O God

As Creator, heal us. As Savior, suffer with us. As Spirit, renew us.
