Prayer

Eternal Lord, today our Jewish sisters and brothers celebrate this feast emphasizing the dependence of the people of Israel on the Lord, particularly during their sojourn through the desert during the Exodus. Too often we think of dependence as weakness. Help us to see that dependence upon you is the path to true freedom. May we join with our Jewish sisters and brothers in acknowledging our dependence upon you and enjoy the blessing of freedom that only you can give. In confidence and gratitude, we pray. Amen.
