Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose hope is in the Lord.
He is like a tree planted beside the waters
that stretches out its roots to the stream:
It fears not the heat when it comes,
its leaves stay green;
In the year of drought it shows no distress,
but still bears fruit.
Jesus, we call on your name.
You are the water that we need.
We depend on you.
We trust in you.
Give us the strength to do your will.
We are in a drought.
Save us, O Lord.
We call out to you.
Send the power of your Holy Spirit today.
We need help.
Help us to bear fruit.
We are lifeless.
We are wilting.
We are too cool.
Help us to grow, O Lord.
Help us to come to life.
Show us how to live.
Show us how to love.
Come, O Lord, and save us.
Help us to reach out to others.
Help us to sing a new song.
Help us to not think of just ourselves.
Jesus, be with us this day.
Bring us back to life.
Help us to bear much fruit for your kingdom.
Help us to tell others about you.
You are life.
We are yours.
Visit your people, O Lord.
We praise you and thank you for hearing our prayer.
Amen.
