Lord and God,
Your voice flashes forth fire, shakes the wilderness, and makes us cry, “glory.” You who called all things by your mere words spoke again your holy law by written word to a broken people. For truly your judgment for sin came to pass upon us. Yet just as truly will your promises and blessings come to us.
Speak, and let our leaders give the sense and understanding. Give us servants, men willing to be last of all and servant of all for Christ’s sake. And give us stewards of your sacred mysteries, ministers who will show forth and declare your will in word, sacraments, and prayer. Give us reliable guides to Christ. For he is the word we need to hear uttered by your immutable voice for our salvation.
