God of the Universe,
make our hearts porous.
Open our eyes, as if for the first time, so that we might see your world
with awe and wonder.
In doing so, we will not only find you in the hallways of our thoughts,
but in the pathways of our hearts.
With gratitude we pray: keep us open, keep us amazed.
With Godβs help, may we bring joy into a weary world.
AMEN.
