A Litany of Hope
A Litany of Hope based on Ezekiel 37:11. This litany came from an article in Reformed Worship magazine. It offers prayer for restoration and salvation, and gives thanks for the promise of new life.
“Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.’” (Ezek. 37:11, RSV)
Let us pray:
God of hope
we bring before you
those whose lives are dried up:
Come from the four winds,
O breath of God,
and breathe upon these
that they may live.
We pray for those dried up
by disappointment
by bitterness
by guilt . . .
