Jesus –
In the days and hours of our eating and drinking, our marrying and working, our tending and prepping…
In the days and hours of our daily lives, make us ready for your coming.
Make us ready for that day and hour no one knows – that day and hour that will come like a flood and sweep us all away.
Make us ready and keep us awake for that unexpected hour of Your in-breaking.
Amen and amen.
(The First Sunday of Advent is November 27.)
