Listen to my cries, O Lord;
And hear the words I speak in silence.
I pray to you, O God,
that each morning you hear my voice;
as I share my joys and fears with you,
and wait for your call.
For you find no joy in pain and suffering;
There is no room for wickedness in your love.
The boastful and those who cause harm
separate themselves from you.
Those who speak lies are lost to you
and cannot fully know your truth.
As I enter your house, O Lord,
Wrap my in your abundant love
As I am in awe and reverence
of your great works.
Lead me on your path, O Lord,
and help me not to stray
even if those around me
give into self-serving actions.
Do not let me mistake their words for truth
and be led down a path of destruction.
There words are hollow
and without depth.
Help them to see the error in their ways.
To see the way there greed is hurting others.
So the may no longer be separate from you.
But let all who already know sing for joy
that they are a part of your loving community.
Be with them and continue to guide them
so that may sing your praises.
For you blessings run deep
for everyone who welcomes you into their lives.
