"Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,
they refuse to know me, declares the LORD."
Jeremiah 9:5-6
PRAYER OF KNOWING GOD
You are a God who is,
present in the moment,
caring as each day begins,
concerned with how each day will end.
We pray that we would,
know you in our waking,
know you in our praying,
know you as we read scripture,
know you as we get ready for our day
know you as we connect with the people we love,
know you as we head out into places you have us to be,
know you in the faces of the poor and oppressed.
You are a God who is,
too glorious to let us stay like we are,
too caring to leave us in our sin,
too compassionate to hold back your discipline.
Take our life,
we pray,
and do with it what you wish.
We simply pray,
that you would let us know you more,
in the process of it all.
