Advent
Prayer
Lord Jesus,
Master of both the
light and the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for
Christmas.
We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice
each day.
We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming
among us.
We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of
your kingdom.
We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence.
We
are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light.
To you we say,
“Come Lord Jesus!”
Amen. — Henri J.M.
