A Prayer for Life

Lord

we are often like the samaritan woman

we drink from perishable wells

we come thirsty

and we leave thirsty

again and again

we want more...

we know there is more...

we know you desire more for us...

God

You are our God

we are seeking you

like warm sunny days in cold winter months

our souls are thirsty for you

our bodies long for you

in this dry and weary land

where there is no water

Christ

we drink from you

and we cry from our wounded souls...

become in us the spring of never-ending life

become in us what we desperately need

become in us what we so desperately desire

Amen
