Prayer For Advent (Week 2)

Taken from: Advent Devotions to Take You Deeper: A Season of Faith (Laurie Hopkins, 2018, pages 25, 26)

“Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, He who speaks, fulfills, and reveals, we come before You and cry Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!  We are humbled in Your presence this Christmas season as we seek to learn the faith story.  We are humbled by these men and woman whose lives You have chosen to be part of the miracle of the birth of the Christ Child.  We are humbled by their faith, their obedience, their praise and their service – but we are even more humbled by the thought that you choose to record their stories in Your Word, that we might know and understand that you have also chosen each one of us, as “everyday” as we may be.  We know that this journey into faith impacts much more than how we spend our Christmas this year; that it impacts how we live our very lives.  We know that you have a plan for each of our lives and we ask as we continue on this journey of faith, that you would grant us wisdom regarding our own faith, where it is and where it needs to be and how to walk that path; that you would reveal to us Your plan for our lives and would grant us the faith to walk it out in obedience and service.  We ask this in the precious Name of Jesus, the Christ. Amen and Amen and Amen.”
