Prayer of the Day
Stir up our hearts, Lord God, to prepare the way of your only Son. By his coming strengthen us to serve you with purified lives; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Philippians 1:9-11
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
In the past year, in what ways has your love for God and others "overflowed more and more?"
Loving and powerful God,
Some days we can only be in awe of your power and love.
You never tire of supporting us.
We constantly ask for help
knowing you will always be there.
From some place deep in our souls,
We hear you calling us by name
and we prepare with a joyful heart for your coming.
Grant us the gift of hope, patience and waiting in these Advent days
because we want the focus of our waiting to be on you.
We want to praise and glorify you with our lives.
Let is live our gratitude to you, rejoicing!
