One who welcomes wonder

Prayer for the 5th Sunday of Lent

I had a little fun with alliteration on this one... 

O One who welcomes wonder
and wipes away tears:
As we continue to wander through
the weeks of Lent, O God,
we pray that your tender mercy
would restore our weary hearts.
You know our sorrows, our
fears, and our worries.
Restore us, God, and
turn our weeping into joy.
We want to witness your works:
You create new ways in the wilderness,
and waterways in the desert.
May we, like the wild animals,
honour and worship you.
Anoint us wild ones with
your extravagant love,
so that the fragrance of your
presence may waft through the air
in our wake, wherever we go.
Amen.
