Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Now is a time to pause, recollect, and reflect as we enter into the Advent Season. What is Advent? It is the preparation for the coming of Christ. We need to take time to ready ourselves to receive him anew, to prepare our hearts for the Light coming into this darkened world.
What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:4-5
Pray for your family, regardless of where each individual is spiritually. Create a visual reminder of Advent for such as an Advent Wreath/Candles. Pray the prayers* each of the four Sundays of Advent as you light each candle each week with an alternating focus on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.
Lord, shine your light into the darkened areas of our lives, the parts that we are most ashamed of. Grant us the grace to “clean house” and ready our souls to receive you in the manner you deserve. Help us walk in your light, that we may remain children of the Light. As you search hearts of our family, find the cracks in even the most closed hearts that your Light might penetrate and begin to warm the cold.
I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness. And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. John 12:46-47
“While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of the light.” John 12:36
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Spread the Light. Pass it on!
