Day 989: Wednesday, November 30, 2022

Open our ears that we may listen, and our hearts that we may be ready to see you here with us.

From Jacqueline -- A simple prayer for each day of Advent...

Gracious God,

Shine Your Light on us,

Gather us together,

that we may be awake now,

and be in your

Sacred Presence.

Open our ears

that we may listen,

and our hearts

that we may be ready

to see you here with us.

Shine your radiant light

on us,

this day, and always.

Amen.
