🙏🏽 Dear Heavenly Father, speak to us Your children during this season of Advent. You give us our lives in seasons and in cycles for a reason. We live day-to-day as You desire and we are grateful that your mercies are new every morning. Each evening we ask, Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love for I have put my trust in you. (Psalm 143:8) And each year we grow from children to young men and women, before we become the fathers and mothers entrusted to show Your love to others. Remind us this advent season what patient endurance means and what it promises. We ask this is the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

We long for the peace that surpasses all understanding that we feel only in Your presence, made possible only through Your Son, Our Savior. It is in His name that we pray this and draw near to you today. Amen.
