Our great Yahvah, still hidden and yet so evident and near, we thank you that you are at work in us before we think of asking. We thank you that you hold us by the hand and lead us before we are aware of it. Stay with us in this way and awaken our hearts at the right moment, that we are not surprised by the painful things we experience but can be prepared at all times to watch and pray, trusting that we are not forsaken in the constant strife on this earth. Grant us hope, O Yahvah, that the time is coming when all people will hear the proclamation, “See, a new heaven and a new earth, because you have learned to see Yahvah’s honor in everything.” Halleluyah.
