A Prayer for Living Water

Heavenly Father,
Giver of Peace, Giver of Living Water that gushes forth from the soul
filled from the river that flows forth from
 the throne of God and of the Lamb. . . .
We worship You!

We confess that we do not always remember
that Your river does not divide two places,
but gives an invitation to all to;
“Come!  Drink from the water and be restored to God and to each other!” 
Forgive us and remind us that by the shores of Your river
we find healing, hope and peace.
We thank You!

Having dived and swum and drunk and splashed in Your river,
we emerge, drenched with Your Presence! 
We have responded to the call to
“Come” and we now respond to the call to
“Go!  Invite others” -
“Go!  Make others thirsty for the pure and holy Water of Life”!
We praise You!

We go out with joy and are led forth with peace;
singing and clapping our hands,
for we shall never thirst again
 through Jesus our Lord,
 AMEN.
