Prayer: To Hear God's Word

Written by RENEW | Feb 4, 2019 11:00:55 AM

Holy One of Israel,
You, who were rebuffed by your loved ones
who would not receive the prophet’s call through you.
I ache with your rejection.
I want to hear the challenges of the prophets today
and respond wholeheartedly,
despite my fears of what this call may require.
I place myself at your disposal.
Direct me to the needs
you would have me address
so that your kingdom may come into being,
now and forevermore.
Amen.
