Prayers for Advent (Week 1)

Taken from: Advent Devotions to Take You Deeper: A Season of Faith (Laurie Hopkins, 2018, page 15)

“Let us pray together:

Gracious Father of all faith, hope and love, we come and sit still before you as we prepare for this Christmas season.  We have lost our way and we seek Your direction to find Your path among the paths of the world.  We thank you, for the most precious gift of all time, Your Beloved Son, whom You sent to earth in the form of a baby in Bethlehem.  This was the first step of a journey that would lead to Calvary where He would shed His blood for our salvation.  We ask Father that you would speak to us; show us the journey back to the true message of Christmas. The message that is not just for a season but one that we should live out every day of our lives; through our bodies, minds, and spirits, an extension of Your Almighty Hand in this world. We Praise Your Almighty Name as we bring these things before you in the Name of Jesus.  Amen and Amen and Amen!”
