Thursday of the Second Week of Advent – 8 December
“Lord open my lips and my mouth shall declare Your praise.”
Daily Meditation:
The afflicted and the needy seek water in vain
The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and of great kindness.
So often we are “afflicted and needy”
and we seem to “seek water in vain.”
Today we listen to a refreshing promise
of how much our Lord desires to refresh us.
Each of us can add what we need the most
I am the LORD, your God, who grasps your right hand;
It is I who say to you, “Fear not, I will help you.”
Isaiah 41
Whoever has ears ought to hear.
Matthew 11
Closing Prayer:
Lord, like a loving parent,
You offer me Your comforting hand
Help me to wait for Your coming with patience
and to listen to what You ask of me.
I want so much to be one of “your people”
and to live my life in You.
Thank You for the way You bless my life.
Thank You for listening to my prayers
and for planting deep in my heart
the knowledge that with You,
nothing is impossible.
May the Lord bless us,
protect us from all evil
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
