Trees and bushes, Lord. We await the evidence of the green springtime of New Life. We pray that we will not be consumed by the fires of Your Word. Cultivate the holy grounds around us with living waters from a spiritual rock that is You.

Lord, we pray that we might be fruitful in our mission, Your mission. We seek that you be pleased and not strike us down but remain in hope.

You are both abounding in kindness and merciful. You are the God of our fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. You are the I AM who has sent us forth to assure that Your name forever be remembered through all generations.
