An Advent Prayer

AN ADVENT PRAYER
from our friends in Scotland at the Iona Community …
Here’s a special seasonal prayer you might enjoy sharing this week …

God, so much of faith is waiting like a pregnant woman waiting in hope like a people under siege, holding out till relief comes like a soul lost in the darkness, unable to see the light yet stumbling through the night because somewhere, out ahead, day will surely break

God, be with us in our waiting. (Special thanks to the author, Kathy Galloway, and to Editor Neil Paynter for permission to share this prayer. It’s from Kathy’s book, “The Pattern of Our Days,” from Wild Goose Publications.)
