“Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare your praise.”
Daily Meditation:
I, the Lord, your God, teach you what is for your good
and lead you on the way you should go.
In our self-reliant independence, we can easily forget that
our God really knows what is good for us and calls us to that goodness.
In our rebellion, we sometimes cling to our freedom
to be self-destructive or to simply keep our life on a shallow level.
Let us allow ourselves to be drawn into the invitation to live our lives
touched by the grace of God-with-us.
Closing Prayer:
Jesus the Christ – God with us,
in the darkness of these Advent nights
let me be guided by the light of Your word.
Give me the humility to be led by You
and the wisdom to learn from You.
I feel Your light in my life
and in the world.
I am grateful for the Saviour who awaits us
and eagerly await the time of rejoicing.
Let me look forward in hope
and turn to You with great trust,
knowing You will guide my steps
along the unknown path of this day.
May the Lord bless us,
protect us from all evil
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen
