LACE~ Advent Prayer


Come, Lord Jesus!

Sweet Babe, You came from the Father to take on our human nature,

and set free what was bound in us by sin.

O come again to us today and help us recognize your mercy and tender love!

I am in awe of Your great power and grace.

From some place deep in my soul,

I hear You calling me by name

announcing the soon arrival of the Ever-Coming-One

and I prepare, with a joyful soul, for Your appearing.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of this season,

help me to slow my heart and listen

to the beating of Your love.

Grant me the gift of hope, patience and waiting in these Advent days

because I want the focus of my waiting to be on You.

I want to praise and glorify You with my life.

Help me live my gratitude to You in anticipation and rejoicing!

Come Lord - come!
