Prayer: Mark 13: v 8

Affirming God, as we desperately wait for Jesus we ponder: How often do you speak to us, and how often do we miss it? How often do you whisper blessings over us that we refuse to hear?
Open our hearts. Create space in us to not only hear YOUR words, but to believe the good news tucked between them.
We are hungry for your wisdom, so speak to us now.
With hope and curiosity, we listen.
With hope and curiosity, we dare to begin again.
Amen.
Theme: 1. nation against nation – 2. see the end and the coming of the Son – the more we see the end, the more important it is to provoke one another to love.
