The sea saw it happen and ran away;
    the Jordan River retreated!
The mountains leaped away like rams;
    the hills leaped away like lambs!
Sea, why did you run away?
    Jordan, why did you retreat?
    Mountains, why did you leap away like rams?
    Hills, why did you leap away like lambs?

Earth: Tremble before the Lord!
    Tremble before the God of Jacob,
        the one who turned that rock into a pool of water,
        that flint stone into a spring of water!

Prayer based on Psalm 114 written by Pastor Sarah Sealand (please feel free to use with proper credit)

Mighty Lord,

  Israel escaped Egypt by your hand, you led them to new life. There are people right now, including myself at times, who feel dry and used up. Lord I seek your renewal. The mighty sea that seemed so big and immovable was moved by your mighty hand. Lord, sometimes the obstacles in my life seem too big to move. Forgive me when I sit at the base of broken dreams and weep over my weakness. Help me instead to give my weakness to you, increase my faith, wipe my tears, and let me stand firm in you Lord. Lord you are the mighty one, not me! When things don’t go my way, help me to see more clearly your way. Strengthen my heart and my spirit Lord, so that when you make a way through the dryness of my life, I can have the strength to cross over, leaving all the familiar behind for new life in you. Give me hope that where I only see darkness and despair your mighty hand is nurturing a spring of fresh water. Today, this prayer is my offering to you Lord. 

Amen
