Dear Heavenly Father, during this time of Advent, we prepare our hearts for the celebration and observance of the coming of Your Son, Jesus. You sent Him to bring light to a world filled with darkness, shame, and sin. You sent Him to be a model for us of how You want Your sons and daughters to live in peace and love for each other. Help me to shine the light of Christ into those dark places of my heart that breed prejudice, violence, hatred, and disrespect. May I prepare myself, so that Christ will be reborn in me. May others catch a glimpse of Your loving image through my words, attitudes, and actions. I ask all this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
“May you walk worthily of God and please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have our redemption, the remission of our sins.”
(Colossians 1:10; 13-14)
