Leader: But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord;

PRAYER OF INVOCATION
Eternal God, we listen for your voice in the message of the prophets and apostles, in the music of reverence, and the prayers of your people. Dawn again in our minds so that we may walk in your light today and through the days to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
