MORNING PRAYER
It
can be hard to stand up for what is right even if others do not. It can be hard to have faith and to show that faith in public places. But Jesus strengthens us. He loves us and
rewards us for even the small acts of faith. Let us resolve to trust him more
and ask for the gift of stronger faith and greater courage.
Loving Father,
As we begin the journey of advent,
help us to
prepare our hearts with room for your Son.
As we decorate our homes in
anticipation of the joyous Christmas season,
help us to remember that it is the
preparation within ourselves
that is of most importance.
We as this
through Christ our Lord.
Amen
