Ah, Lord God, give Your servant an understanding mind.
We as a nation have become guilty by the blood we have shed. We are defiled by the modern idols we have made of consumerism and entertainment. We have brought our days near, the appointed times of our years has come.
You, O Lord, have made us a reproach to the nations, a mockery to all the countries near and far. Our name is defiled among the nations. We are full of tumult. And, yet, Your people, Your intercessors, are as those who sleep, as those who rest. Rouse us from our torpor. Open our eyes to see the lateness of the hour. Grant an understanding, discerning and wise mind, O God. Fill us with Your compassion and grace.
1 Kings 3.9; Ezekiel 22.4-5; Mark 14.41
