Opening Prayers/Prayers of Adoration on Seeking God

Opening Prayer Inspired by John 4

 We remember the woman at the well –

  her questions, her truth, her witness.

Pour out your Holy Spirit upon us,

  so we too may ask deeply,

  reveal ourselves deeply, and

  share your Good News deeply.

Pour out your Holy Spirit upon us,

  so we may worship you in spirit and truth.

Amen.

O Lord our God, you are always more ready to bestow your good gifts on us than we are to seek them, and are willing to give more than we desire or deserve. Help us so to seek that we may truly find, so to ask that we may joyfully receive, so to knock that the door of your mercy may be opened to us; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
