Advent Devotional for December 13

Prayer

Week 2: People Look East

Holy and gracious God, you come to us in so many ways;
as kindness that makes the difference between life and death;
as hope when no hope is possible;
as love that is already with us and still reaching out to us;
make us ready to welcome you, we pray.
Help us to set tables where all people are honored guests.
Help us devote our strength to nourishing seeds of justice.
Help us to guard those with fragile wings until they find strength to fly.
Help us keep watch for light in the darkness.
Never let us tire of announcing the news:
the lord is coming. Love is coming. You are coming.
Amen.
