Daily Prayer

Nov. 28, 2021
 A daily prayer from the New England Conference
 Members of the New England Conference Extended Cabinet are sharing a daily prayer based on the Revised Common Lectionary for the week.
 You are welcome to use these in worship or in your own devotions.
 Today's Prayer
 God of Love and Light,
 In this season of Advent
 we await your coming
 into the midst of our lives,
 into the world, messy
 and troubled as they are.
 
 We confess that what we
 see around us and hear
 on the daily news fills us
 with fear and foreboding,
 that we feel the foundation
 beneath us shaking.
 
 Take away our fear and
 dread. Help us to stand up,
 to look up, to raise our
 heads because in spite of
 any appearance to the contrary,
 our redemption is drawing near.
 The Savior of the world is come,
 again in power and glory.
 
 Give us eyes to see and hearts to believe ...
 “that the kingdom of God is near ...”
 “Heaven and earth will pass away
 but [your] words will not pass away.”
  (Luke 21: 31, 33)
 
 Transform us through the power of your Holy Spirit
 that we may love you and glorify your holy name,
 through Christ Jesus our Savior. Amen
