God's Gaze . . .

A prayer for prophets:
God of the Great Gaze,
We humans prefer satisfying un-truth
to the Truth that is usually unsatisfying.
Truth is always too big for us,
And we are so small and afraid.


So you send us prophets and truth speakers
to open our eyes and ears to your Big Picture.


Show us how to hear them, how to support them,
and how to interpret their wisdom.


Help us to trust that your prophetic voice
may also be communicated through our words and actions.     

                                                                        
May we practice a spirit of discernment
and a stance of humility,
so that your Truth be spoken, not our own.


We ask this in the name of Jesus the Prophet,
for we desire to share in your Great Gaze, Amen.
