Prayer: John 18:33-37

Holy God, The words of this world whip around us like a mighty wind.
We are caught up in news reports, in text messages, in emails and notifications.
We are drowning in updates from the media, caught off guard by the constant hum of it all.
But here on this bright or grey morning we remember: you too are speaking.
Still the voices around us. Calm our minds and center our hearts so that we can hear your words of truth above the wind of the world.
We are leaning closer. We are at the edge of our chairs. We are beginning again. Speak to us, as only you can. Amen
