A prayer:

God of all hope and joy,
open our hearts in welcome,
so that your Son Jesus Christ at his coming
may find in us a dwelling prepared for himself;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen.

Lord, this Christmas season is upon us. Help us to walk in anticipation. You are the Light that has come into the darkness.

Help us to walk with the expectation that you are coming again. You are the righteous Savior. We long to see you face to face.

Amen
