What does it mean to walk in your light, Lord?
How can we walk in your pathways for us?
When the prophets chastise the people
Saying they have loved what is wrong,
And they have looked toward idols to save them instead of the One True God,
Have we not all done the same?
Haven’t we replaced idols of wood or stone
With idols of money and power,
Prestige and influence?
Have we not become just as enslaved to these idols
As many were in ancient times to their own graven images?
Help us to break those chains,
And look to you to guide our conduct.
Help us to care for your creation and your world,
As you have commanded us to do.
Amen.
