Open My Lips

I wrote this prayer for our run-through this morning:

God, who called Israel out of Egypt and who called Christ out of the grave and who calls us to a life of service:

Take our weary bones and put flesh on them, that we might embrace the weak.

Take our weary souls and breath life into them, that we might preach the good news to the poor.

Take our weary hearts and pour grace into them, that we might love sinners.

Amen.
