I join with all who are praying *
to the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening Prayer
May the blood of the Lamb cover Israel.
May the loving, suffering heart of the Father draw His people to Himself.
May the creative power of the Holy Spirit awaken contrition and repentance in them.
May our sorrow as Christians seeking amends for the past melt their hearts.
May the tears of the triune God open their eyes to see the Redeemer.*
Yes, the day is coming when they will behold the One whom they have pierced and weep for Him as for a first-born son.
For this we pray, knowing that God's gifts and His call are irrevocable:
He will never go back on His promises to His chosen people.
Amen.

Praying 2 Samuel 7:22-24 (New International Version)
How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. And who is like your people Israel -- the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? You have established your people Israel as your very own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
Response to the Scripture
LORD, bring to fulfillment the plan that you had in the beginning to bring light to the earth and hope to the nations through the seed of Abraham.
Draw near to God’s throne of grace
with the thanksgivings, prayers, & intercessions that are on your heart

Ending Prayer
Thank You, Lord, for the Ruths You have trained for centuries, and who have so faithfully shown us who you really are.
That it is safe to glean in your fields, and even lay at your feet at the middle of the night. *
That you are not going to abuse us or ruin our reputation.
That you will provide our needs and send us back with a double portion and dignity. *
Open our eyes to see how you have woven a precious story, that is about to reach its peak, as both the gentile and the Jew walk into your House and usher in the second coming of the Son
Pour over Your Body an unprecedented measure of your spirit. *
We are longing for that, Lord.
