DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
It can be hard
to stand up for what is right, when others do not. It can be hard to have faith
and to show that faith in public places, when others do not. But Jesus
strengthens us. He loves us and rewards us for even the small acts of faith.
Let us resolve to trust him more and ask for the gift of stronger faith and
greater courage, as we share our faith through the birth
of Jesus this Advent season.
Loving Father,
As we begin the journey of advent,
help us to prepare our hearts with room
for your son,
Jesus.
As we decorate our homes in anticipation
of the joyous Christmas season,
help us to
remember that it is the preparation within ourselves
that is of most importance.
Bless our family, extended family, and
family of faith.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
