An Advent of Inspiration: Day 6!
This is the Sixth Day of Advent, and it's also the time for an Inspirational Friday so I will be adding a quote as well.
1. The Picture: Day 6: Every Valley Shall Be Lifted Up, Every Mountain and Hill Made Low; -Isaiah 40:4
2.The Quote: “Sometimes it seems as though we spend our lives waiting. Daydreaming about an upcoming vacation, worrying over a medical test, preparing for the birth of grandchild-our days are filled with anticipation and anxiety over what the future holds. As Christians, we too spend our lives waiting. But we are waiting for something much bigger than a trip, bigger even than retirement or a wedding: We are waiting for the return of Jesus in glory. Advent heightens this sense of waiting, because it marks not only our anticipation of Jesus’ final coming, but also our remembrance of his arrival into our world more than 2,000 years ago.” -Anonymous
Sixth Day of Advent prayer
Jesus, protector,
I long for your coming.
The promise of new light is there
if only I can believe.
Protect me from dangers
and lead me through the gloom and darkness
to the joy I so long to find in you.
Lift me from my lowly sins
and give me the promise of salvation
with no more shame,
only the light and saving grace of your love.
Let the ancient dream be fulfilled in you
and peace come to this life and world.
Amen
Ta, Ta for Now!
