| Advent Prayer – Centering Ourselves in Christ |
Teach us, we pray, to walk with Christ more intently and more easily.
To walk with him in the ways of our lives.
In the best of times and in the worst.
When laughter comes quickly and when tears flow deeply.
Teach us, we pray, to hear the words of Christ.
To abide in them and ponder their meaning.
Making his words our words.
Learning from them how to live and how to love.
Teach us, we pray, to share Christ.
By the words of faith we share with others.
By the justice we pursue.
By the grace of open arms and the power of an open mind.
Teach us, we pray, to love Christ all the more.
To seek our salvation in his glory.
In the wonder of his cross and the mystery of the empty tomb.
For in him, dear God, you have given us life, here and now and forever.
Teach us, we pray, that Christ would be our all-in-all.
In his name, and for his sake. Amen!
