"Suddenly, opposite the lampstand,
the fingers of a human hand appeared,
writing on the plaster of the wall in the king's palace.
When the king saw the wrist and the hand that wrote,
his face blanched;
his thoughts terrified him,
his hip joints shook,
and his knees knocked.
Yes, Jesus, we have seen the writing on the wall.
How powerful you are.
You can do anything.
This is your world.
You try so hard to reach people.
You literally reach out and touch people.
We thank you for your presence today.
We thank you for your grace.
We thank you for your holy words in the Bible.
We know you are trying to reach us.
Call us home to you.
We are lost without you.
Help us to see your words.
Help us to treasure your words that you have given us.
May our souls be shaken.
Yes, Lord, shake us up. We are too calm.
May our thoughts be of you, O Lord.
We are so distracted. Help us to see only you.
Lord, we call on your name. Jesus, help us.
We are lost without you.
Help!
Save us, O Lord.
Lord, may we be as Daniel was. May we be your witness today.
May we be a witness to the truth.
Send us your Holy Spirit to guide us and bless us.
Thanks! We needed that. We do...
Bless this Internet, O Lord.
May it be filled with your glory all over the world.
Drive away the spirits of lust and greed and hatred.
May your holy word bless all the networks.
Bless all the wires and satellites and electonic equipment.
May the Internet be used to enlighten the world.
May all the world know that you are The Lord.
Jesus, save us.
Jesus, bring your peace to our troubled world.
Amen.
