Meet Us Where We Are

for 1 Kings 19:1–15a


When we are afraid, O God,
comfort us with your presence.

When we have lost our way, O God,
give us a new direction.

When life feels too hard to face, O God,
be our shelter, our hiding place.

When we must live again, O God,
resurrect our broken spirits
with a great wind, to clear the air,
an earthquake to move our feet,
a fire to spark our zeal,
and with silence, stillness, peace
in your abiding presence.

Amen
