The Prayers of Yahweh's People

Almighty God, enter our hearts, and so fill us with your love, that, forsaking all evil desires, we may embrace you, our only good. Show unto us, for your mercies’ sake, O Lord our God, what you are unto us. Say unto our souls, “I am your salvation.” So speak that we may hear. Our hearts are before you; open our ears; let us hasten after your voice and take hold of you. Amen.

-Augustine
