Lord Jesus,
Master of both the light and the darkness, send your Holy
Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.
We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your
voice each day.
We who are anxious over many things look forward to your
coming among us.
We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy
of your kingdom.
We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence.
We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light.
To you we say, 'Come Lord Jesus!'"
- Henry J.M. Nouwen, Advent prayer
