God, we wait with you in
the stillness
We wait, grateful for the chance to be quiet.
We wait for the breath of your Spirit to breathe life
into the weariness of our bones.
We wait, grateful for the chance to be quiet.
We wait for the breath of your Spirit to breathe life
into the weariness of our bones.
God we thank you that
you show your presence
in the stirring of our hearts,
in the stirring of our hearts,
in
the awareness of the air that you disturb around us
as you breathe life into your people in worship today.
as you breathe life into your people in worship today.
Lord, forgive our
weariness
and transform it into a longing for you
so that we may be stirred up,
renewed in faith,
and returned to the world you call us to serve
with the breath you breathe into your people today.

Amen.
