Unison Prayer
Holy and patient God, You meet us in the places we least expect. You sow good seed in our lives, even when the field feels mixed and messy. You speak hope into our fears, and Your Spirit groans with us in our waiting. Open our eyes to Your presence. Open our hearts to Your Word. Open our lives to Your transforming grace. Make us people who trust Your timing, Your wisdom, and Your love. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
