This Advent I have been enjoying the new book, Waiting for the Light: An Advent Devotional. Christine Sine & Mustard Seed Associates have put together this book of reflections, liturgies, and prayers posted on Godspace blog in years past. I am using the e-reader Kindle version. You can check it out HERE.
The below prayer is an excerpt from a liturgy in the book for the second week of Advent, “Seeking or Expecting.”
God who created from nothing all that we see around us,
Enter the searching places of our hearts,
Search us, convict us, change us.
God who invites us to draw from the wellsprings of life,
Come into the dry and thirsty places of our lives,
Fill us, transform us, dwell within us.
God who extends to us the unforced rhythms of your grace,
Open within us a place where you can dwell,
Restore us, refresh us, renew us.
As we seek to move close to you during this Advent season,
May our searching hearts expand our understanding of you,
Live in us, love through us, glorify yourself.
