Prayers for Illumination on God’s Voice
Draw us close, Holy Spirit, as the Scriptures are read and the Word is proclaimed.
Let the word of faith be on our lips and in our hearts, and let all other words slip away.
May there be one voice we hear today — the voice of truth and grace. Amen.
Calm us now, O Lord, into a quietness that heals and listens.
Open wounded hearts to the balm of your Word.
Speak to us in clear tones so that we might feel our spirits leap for joy and skip with hope as your resurrection witnesses. Amen.
