Opening Prayers/Prayers of Adoration on Trust
Listen and Act
ONE:
Joseph is silent
He listens and acts
ALL:
Lord, help us listen
Still the noise around us and in us
Still the urgency and anxiety
Still the destruction and falsehood
ONE: Lord, help us listen
Break through with your still, small voice
with your calm and clarity
with your leading and light
ALL: You reveal the needed next steps
You provide all we need to make the journey
ONE: Lord, help us listen and help us act
Amen

Wondrous God
Father-Son-Spirit
Your joy is our strength
Nothing more
Nothing less
Nothing else
Grant us grace to receive you and your joy
Grant us grace to trust it above all other powers and plans
Grant us grace to bear it and share it as generously as you
For the honor is yours
The majesty is yours
and Your kingdom is at hand
Amen

Prayer for Holy Saturday
There are so many things we do not understand
So many ways we long for change and closure
Help us to trust you
even when the situation is desperate and out of control
Help us to follow you
even when the way unclear
Help us to wait and rest
even when every bit of us screams to act
Build in us a faith that endures
Even when we can’t see you
Or feel you near
Or understand
A faith that endures the waiting
The grief of now and not-yet
The ache of in-between
The pregnant pause
Your power and goodness are never diminished
Morning is coming
