Prayer for Illumination from Worship & Song

Eternal God,

in the reading of the Scripture, may your Word be heard;

in the meditations of our hearts, may your Word be known;

and in the faithfulness of our lives, may your Word be shown. Amen.

Collect based on Psalm 1:

God of torah,

who invites all to follow the way--

   the way that leads to life,

   the way that leads to peace,

   the way that leads each of us to this very moment--

watch over our learning

so that we may be more than educated,

   more than well-read,

   more than simply proficient;

watch over our learning

so that we may become

students of your instruction

   students who delight in your instruction

as we continue in the way.

We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ,

   our trailblazer and our teacher.

Amen.
