“O god of peace and justice, since the days of the prophet Isaiah you have sent your wise messengers to bring a vision of your realm already close at hand. And so we wait with growing expectation, yearning for your coming in this time and place. God of all salvation, we pray that you will fill our hearts, open our eyes, clean out our ears, and loosen our tongues, as we gather in the Spirit of the one for whom we wait, the redeemer of all creation.”
-Peter Bankson & Deborah Sokolove, Calling on God: Inclusive Christian Prayer for 3 Years of Sundays.
