A Prayer for Each Morning of Advent

Advent is nearly here. The weeks of Advent call us to take some time away from the busy hustle and bustle of the holiday season and to peacefully, intentionally pray and meditate on the blessing of Christ's birth in Bethlehem. Prayerfully entering each day of Advent reorients our hearts to the One who matters most. Without this habit of prayer, we quickly get drawn into lesser loves - like love of performance and entertaining, love of gifts and possessions, love of creating and capturing “perfect” moments rather than quietly enjoying the daily blessings God has given us. This is why daily prayer is so vital for us.

We need a daily reorientation to what matters most. Use this daily morning prayer each day to recapture your thoughts and heart for Christ and submit your busiest holiday days to him.
