Said in unison:

By faith you called Abraham to sojourn, O God; by faith Sarah conceived even when she was past the age.  We read of their witness and marvel at their obedience; our faith is meager by comparison.  We rarely venture out without knowing the destination; we want to know what’s in in for us before we say yes to your call.  Forgive our lack of daring and commitment and help us to trust you fully.
