Eternal God, our Father, make us ready to hear your voice. We become so accustomed to the loud noises and raucous voices of the world that we forget that you speak in whispers to the stillness of our hearts. We expect You to come in the pomp and power like the rulers of the world, but You come in the baby's cry and a crucifixion.
Oh, teach us that You are at work right now on our world and that truth may indeed seem to be on the scaffold and wrong on the throne, but the scaffold (Thy cross) sways the future and You are keeping watch over us and all that You have made.
May we this moment yield up our hearts to You for your blessing according to our need, for comfort in our mourning, for healing in our sickness, for strength in our weakness, for light in our darkness and for hope in our despair. To Thee we give the praise through Him who sent you. Amen
