Advent Devotional

Weekly Reading:

James 5: 7-10

Weekly Prayer:

God of all hopefulness, help us keep alive your vision of peace and wholeness. Where hope is a small seed, teach us to have faith in its growing. Where people are finding healing and new life, teach us to recognize you at work. When you come to us in unexpected ways, may we know you, through the grace of Jesus Christ, amen.

Today's prayer comes from Flames of the Spirit: Resources For Worship, edited by Ruth C. Duck (Pilgrim Press, 1985, p. 15.)
