Make Our Hearts Receptive

Most Loving and Gracious God; Make our hearts receptive of you glorious Word contained in scriptures and in the words of prophets throughout the ages.  Help us to realize just how central Jesus needs to be in our lives, if we are to find our way to you, and to live by the words of Life!  Help us realize that it is through Him that those who are sorrowful can find comfort; those who are weak may find inexhaustible strength; those who who have not found their way back to you, may indeed find the way in Him.  Open for us the door of our hearts to receive the Holy Spirit and thus be transformed from children of this world, into children of our heavenly King.  It's in His name that we do prayl  Amen.
