December 20 Prayer

December 20 Advent Prayer

A Messenger brings a word
After the silence comes a song

Maybe we all need the quiet in this busy season to listen again.

What does the messenger say…?
From another world
from the silence
what is to come

A song of mercy
Of the light to dawn
Of the peace that is for us all!

Take a moment of quiet yourself and listen..

‘Lord
Today in our waiting and excitement
In our weariness we come in a quiet moment to listen to your song of hope
This day
Let your light be spoken over us

May we become your very messengers of peace for our world
Give us an opening
A break in the clouds
To speak forth of the light that is coming
The light that is here.

O Come,
O wisdom
Lord and ruler
Rising Sun
King of the nations
Come
Emmanuel

Amen
