Prayer for Paralytic Souls

Cause us to rise up this morning, O God.

We do not have it in and of ourselves to rise from our beds, let alone attain to the level of spirituality that this service of worship requires. Without you we are dead. Without you we can do nothing. So we pray now that you would descend upon us and stir up our hearts. Awaken our souls by your grace. Make our spirits to be lively and ready to dance in your presence.

Give us grace that we might repent. Make us attentive so that we might grow. Above all, let our lips be loosed that we might praise you. May our ears be opened that we might hear you. And let us glorify and enjoy you as you would have us.
