We enter your sacred prayer space and are surrounded by your wisdom. We admit that we are among those who have placed hope and expectations in human rulers and governments. You reveal to us that only you can fulfil our expectations and meet our needs.

“How great our joy; great our joy!” We have been made Holy by the blood of Christ; our sins have been forgiven, and God has forgotten them. Thank you, Adonai, for putting your law of love in our hearts and minds. We are guided by your Spirit.

Thank you, Yahweh, for being patient with us. We often forget and do not think about your loving kindness and patience. We place our hope in you. May we grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Third Week of Advent, Saturday, December 21, 2024

Lectionary Readings for Today: Weekly Review
Psalm 80:1-7
Isaiah 66:7-11
Luke 13:31-35

We hear the invitation to join with creation to sing your praises. The call is for everyone; no one is excluded. Praise to you, our God and King. You fulfil your promises and your love is boundless. Praise to you.

I am coming home to you today, O LORD, and thank you for…

We hold to the hope that you are fixing this broken world. Creation has been crying to you. We also cried with creation in the wilderness. Stretch forth your healing across this landscape, LORD, so our cries will be answered and peace will be restored.
