Lord, like a loving parent,
you offer me your comforting hand
and tell me not to be afraid.
Help me to wait for your coming with patience
and to listen to what you ask of me.
I want so much to be one of "your people"
and to live my life in you.
Thank you for the way you bless my life.
Thank you for listening to my prayers
and for planting deep in my heart
the knowlege that with you,
nothing is impossible.

The Second Week Of Advent
December 6, 2020
Dear Lord, Through the darkness, I look for your wisdom. I want my heart to be open to you. But sometimes in these days, it seems that so many things come between us. Help me to be awake and aware of the radiance you bring to my life. Help me to be grateful each day for the blessings of family and friends. Let me be a peacemaker in my own life, and in the world. Let me pray especially for this difficult world and those who are so in need of an end to violence. My heart begs for this as my Advent prayer today.

God of Strength, I need your courage. You offer to make firm the knees that are weak. Only you know how frightened I so often am. And you do offer me strength. There is the promise of your Son's coming and knowing that you will save me. I can't do this on my own no matter how often I think I can. Give me the humility to ask for your help and open heart to accept your healing and love in my life.

Almighty God, I hear it over and over: you are coming to me. I feel my heart stir in anticipation, and I sense that you are inviting me to enter more deeply into the mystery of your birth. Help me to feel renewed patience settle in my heart, and to lift my face in joy. I have been like a lost lamb, but I hear your voice calling me and I feel how deeply you want me to return. Somehow I know that you rejoice in my desire to find you. Help me not to be afraid to say out loud, to believe: Here is God, coming into my life.
