Touch the bare branches of our unbelief
And blaze again like fire in every leaf.

Praying Isaiah 62:1-7 (Complete Jewish Bible)
For Tziyon's sake I will not be silent, for Yerushalayim's sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out brightly and her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your vindication and all kings your glory.
Then you will be called by a new name which Adonai himself will pronounce. You will be a glorious crown in the hand of Adonai, a royal diadem held by your God. You will no longer be spoken of as 'Azuvah [Abandoned]or your land be spoken of as 'Sh'mamah [Desolate]; rather, you will be called Heftzi-Vah [My-Delight-Is-In-Her] and your land Be'ulah [Married]. *
For Adonai delights in you, and your land will be married -- as a young man marries a young woman, your sons will marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride, your God will rejoice over you. I have posted watchmen on your walls, Yerushalayim; they will never fall silent, neither by day nor by night. You who call on Adonai, give yourselves no rest; and give him no rest till he restores Yerushalayim and makes it a praise on earth.
Response to the Scripture
Save us, Oh God of our salvation; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy Name, and revel in your praise!
Draw near to God’s throne of grace
with the thanksgivings, prayers, & intercessions that are on your heart

Ending Prayer
Oh, to see the sight, next to Christ’s coming in the clouds, the most joyful! Our elder brethren the Jews and Christ fall upon one another’s neck and kiss each other!
They have been long asunder; they will be kind to one another when they meet. *
O Day! O longed for and lovely dawn!
O sweet Jesus, let me see that sight which will be as life from the dead, Thee and Thy ancient people in mutual embraces.
- Samuel Ratherford
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
