Reflect
Advent is a time to wait in hope for the birth of Jesus. It requires patience on our part—and therein lies the struggle for many.
Pray
Dear God,
My heart is open
to your arrival
this season,
but the wait
is a challenge.
Teach me
to be patient.
Show me how to live
in the moment
and to embrace
this holy season
of grace and hope.
Amen.
Act
Do you struggle with patience, especially during Advent? God loves you in spite of it. Offer this prayer as a way to meet God halfway.
