Arianne Braithwaite Lehn | Read Isaiah 6:1-8
The focus of Isaiah’s objection and God’s subsequent healing is the lips. The mouth holds much power. As Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel says, “Words create worlds.”
God links the mouth with creative power. Creation originated with God’s speech. God spoke and everything we see, touch, and love came into being....
Loving God, I pray for your love in ’s life. I pray for your joy in ’s heart. I pray for your peace in ’s soul. I pray for your patience in ’s words. I pray for your kindness in ’s actions. I pray for your goodness in ’s sharing. I pray for your faithfulness in ’s relationships. I pray for your gentleness in ’s spirit. And I pray for your self-control in ’s choices. May this fruit blossom in and through . Amen.
