First Week of Advent (December 1-8)
As we begin Advent, we light one candle in the midst of all the darkness in our lives and in the world. It symbolizes our longing, our desire, our hope. We want to be renewed in a sense that Jesus came to save us from our sin and death. We want to experience his coming to us now, in our everyday lives, to help us live our lives with meaning and purpose.
Heavenly Father:
The light I choose to let into my life is based on my trust in you. It is a weak flame, but I so much desire that it dispel a bit more darkness today. Today, I just want to taste the longing I have for you as I go into the meeting this morning, carry out the responsibilities of my work, face the frustrations of some difficult relationships. Let this candle be a reminder of my hope in your coming. Amen.
