The Lord looks down from heaven on humans to see if anyone is wise, to see if anyone seeks God, Let Israel’s salvation come out of Zion! When the Lord changes the people’s circumstances for the better, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will celebrate!

Litany from the Inside*...Rebecca Glancy
Love me from the inside out God. Take the thoughts I hide deep inside and burn them with Your purifying fire. Love me from the inside out, God. Take the root of my mistrust and deaden their hold on my life. Love me from the inside out, God. Take the thoughts that run freely in my mind and trap them in Your grace. Love me from the inside out, God. Take the hope You have planted in me and nourish it with the support of the church. Love me from the inside out, God. Take the gift of the Spirit living in me and ignite Your love to lead me to Your service. Love me from the inside out, God. Take Your love in me and let it infuse my living. Love me from the inside out, God.
