God -
How can we thank You enough for those who bring us joy?
Night and day we earnestly pray to see those people face to face, and we pray for restoration of whatever may be lacking in their faith.
May You direct our way to one another.
May You increase our love for one another and for all, so we abound in that love.
May You strengthen our hearts in holiness, so we are blameless before our Lord Jesus’ coming with the saints.
Sight and restoration. Direction. Increasing, abounding love. Strong hearts.
May it be so.
Amen.
(The First Sunday of Advent is 11/28.)
