The desert and parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.— Isaiah 35:1-10

God of sound and silence,
of light and darkness,
of purpose and meaning.
Bring your power and might
into our lives.
Speak your word
of presence
into the silent
loneliness of our days.
Shine your light
of hope
into the dark,
solitude of our hearts.
Breathe your word
of intention
into the empty,
void of our soul.
We are a parched people Lord.
Thirsty for the water of life.
Longing to see streams flowing
in and through us.
Longing once again to
see the blossoming
of your justice,
your love,
your grace.
Longing once again to
rejoice in your presence.,
be renewed,
refreshed,
reformed.
Made whole.
