                    This text is a prayer of desperation!  It is the prayer of people who were once used to having God’s presence and God’s power – that power being long absent and sorely missed.  It is the prayer of one out of touch with God.
                
                    
                             Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock!  You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh.  Stir up your might, and come to save us!  Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved.  
    O LORD God of hosts,
