Opening Prayers/Prayers of Adoration on Provision
Wilderness Prayer
Inspired by Deuteronomy 8:2-3,14-16
God of the Ages
Our Deliverer and Provider
We bow in humility before your grace
You feed us with the divine
Your word
Your body
You quench our thirst with living water
A stream in the desert
You guide our feet through snares and snakes
You free us from slavery to sin and self and shame and death
You lead us the long way to holiness and home
Grow in us wholehearted allegiance
that our blessing and devotion may never waver
that we may always recognize and trust your desire to do us good
Amen

God, our heavenly Father –
from whom all families gain purpose, direction and life:
When we need bread, you don’t give a stone;
and when we ask for fish, you don’t give a snake;
for you are good, you are strong and you are loving.
As your children we come to you asking, seeking
and knocking and you respond:
“Come, child – and open your heart.”
