My Lord, if we stand before You and listen to Your words, we know You are able to restore us and gather us again under Your wings. Yet we confess that we are often stubborn, resisting the work You desire to do in us. Lord, give us willing hearts that walk with You, and healthy spirits that listen to Your voice. Restore us, as You have promised, and lead us into green pastures, where we may dwell in Your presence and sing praises to Your holy name.
