A Prayer for the First Sunday of Advent: Scotty Smith

Heavenly Father, on this first Sunday of Advent, we praise, bless and adore you, for the privilege of reflecting on your great generosity in these coming weeks. Our hope is real because your faithfulness is certain. Show us, once again, how every promise you have made finds its emphatic “Yes!” in Jesus (2 Cor. 1:20). Fuel our wonder and enflame our hearts. Help us engage with the story of Jesus’ birth with childlike wonder and renewed hope. Bring familiar Scriptures alive in fresh and transforming ways.   READ MORE HERE
