He turns rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; a fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it. (Psalm 107:33-34)
LORD, so much of the Episcopal Church has turned into barren and dry ground; it no longer yields up to the fruit of righteousness.
He turns a wilderness into pools of water, and dry land into watersprings. (Psalm 107:35)
Holy Spirit, come and flood us with your living water. Give us a heart’s hunger that will not be satisfied with anything less than you.
There he makes the hungry dwell, that they may establish a city for a dwelling place, and sow fields and plant vineyards, that they may yield a fruitful harvest. (Psalm 107:36-37)
Jesus, we long for our parish and this diocese to be fruitful and well-watered gardens where your people may find rest and refreshment. Help us sow in your Spirit and bring to you a fruitful harvest.
He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; and he does not let their cattle decrease. (Psalm 107:38 )
Father, we turn to you and desire your blessing.
When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction and sorrow, he pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way; (Psalm 107:39-40)
Lord Jesus, please deal with those who hold your truth and your little ones in contempt and despise the good news of your cross and resurrection. Bring the leaders and teachers of the Episcopal Church to a saving knowledge of you.
Yet he sets the poor on high, far from affliction, and makes their families like a flock. The righteous see it and rejoice, and all iniquity stops its mouth. (Psalm 107:41-42)
Father, set the poor in spirit under the shelter of your wings and shepherd them. Give us your joy in what you are doing among us.
Whoever is wise will observe these things, and they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord. (Psalm 107:43)
Holy Spirit, please give us understanding of the Father’s lovingkindness as we observe what you are doing among us. Thank you.
