Lord God, thank you for quenching our thirst with the Living Water of Jesus Christ your Son.  Thank you for washing us clean through the waters of Baptism.  Grant that we offer those who are thirsty for truth, the life giving Word that you provide–that they might believe and drink from your fountain of wisdom, your bubbling brook that never runs dry.  In Jesus’ Name we pray,  Amen.
