Wash us, and we will be truly clean. Restore us in the health and security of your love and peace. Place us, once again, upon your Ancient Path, so we will proclaim your love and promise as we dance with you to your Holy Mountain.

We are loved; we are blessed. We enter your sacred prayer space being honest with you. Your words of love bring us into inner harmony with ourselves, which leads to inner peace, calmness, and balance. We hear the invitation to be like-minded, having a spirit of love. Thank you for the opportunity to live in harmony with creation and other humans, working together to create something beautiful.

We enter your sacred prayer space. You call us by name, assuring us that we are among your chosen people. Your voice is all around us, like thunder in a coming storm. Your promise is like rain on the landscape, falling where you wish to feed and nourish your creation.

You have always kept your promises. Fill us with your understanding, so we will never doubt the ceaseless nature of your covenant. We will follow you, trusting that your promises are true for all eternity.

Ancient of days, you are our God, who reveals who you are through your creation and through us. You reveal to us who you are. You invite us to be your witnesses, to share with others your love and goodness. Thank you for the opportunity to share your love and goodness with others as it draws us closer to you.

You speak, and the whole world hears your voice. To some, your voice sounds like thunder, to others you sound like the wind. All creation hears you, though we do not all remember the sound of your voice. But the wind and waves still know you. The earth melts at the sound of your voice. In your sacred prayer space, you remind us of who you are.
