   Advent 2021: Presence of God [Scripture reference: Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-24] Father God who is near, who is with me now. I welcome you, your presence here with me I invite you God to be near to me Help my heart to always welcome and remember your presence You are Immanuel, God with us. You are not sometimes Immanuel, God who is sometimes with us It’s a name of yours Whether I feel it or not, you are here You are Immanuel, God with us I am tempted to forget that you promise to always be there Help me to remember Help me to see your heart for me, for your children “God is with you” is not a platitude or something to say, but rather a beautiful, powerful, truth of a God who loves his people so much that will never leave them You are Immanuel, God with us You’ve created man to be with God, you’ve made covenants with your people You’ve promised never to abandon them, you’ve promised to never abandon me You mercifully, humbly sent your son Jesus to Earth to be physically present among man on Earth A precious baby present in his mother’s womb destined to one day leave Earth for the sake of our souls, but even then when his time had come, a holy presence remained The holy spirit indwelled in those who believe You are Immanuel, God with us You are so good to us, Lord Your heart and your mercy is a beautiful display of your love for your people, for me I pray your name Immanuel would be a peace and an encouragement to me always I rejoice in that because you are with me, I get to be the hands and the feet of Jesus to the people around me Hallelujah! Thank you for the opportunities you have already provided Would you bring more opportunities, especially in this Advent season, for me and our community to care for the people near to us -- in mind, body, and spirit It’s in King Jesus’ name that I pray, Amen ----- Music: https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/

   Advent 2021: Hope

   A prayer for hope: Our God in heaven, we enter this Advent season on the heels of yet another difficult year. I am weary of this world – of the struggles and challenges, of strife and conflict, of sickness and sadness. The fallenness of the world seems to be always in front of me, my disappointments and brokenness feel inescapable. I confess that I too easily set my mind on things of the earth, not on things that are above. I confess that I choose to walk in darkness or even sit there, instead of looking to the Light and running towards you. I confess that my trials and afflictions determine my heart’s direction, instead of you. I confess that because of all these things, I lose hope. And I confess that my hope has been misplaced – and too small. I have put my hope in fleeting circumstances, instead of eternal truths. I have put my hope in small things, instead of You - the eternal God of the universe. Oh God of all hope, this Advent season will you restore my hope once more? Will you shine your Light once more into my dark heart? Will you help me to think on things that are above, not on things that are of the earth? Will you help me to prepare for a weight of glory through my light, momentary afflictions? Will you give me hope once more through Jesus? God of all hope, I thank you that my hope can be sure and certain when my hope is in You. I thank you that Your promises are Yes! And Amen! In your son Jesus Christ. I thank you, Jesus, that you have not left me to wander in the dark, but you have shone your light into my heart through your incarnation. By coming to this earth as the perfect Son of God, fully God, fully man, you have become my living hope. You entered into this dark world, and no darkness can overcome you. And now let this weary world rejoice – let my weary heart rejoice. Let me rejoice in the hope that I have, in the eternal inheritance that you have brought for me, in the eternal Light and glory that you are preparing for me. Let me look up and see You, let me stand on tiptoes and look around for Your presence, let me rejoice in the fact that I have a real hope that is bigger and better than anything else I could hope in. My hope is in you and you alone, Jesus. Thank you, in your name I pray, Amen. -- -- -- Forest Walk by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

[2] And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. [4] He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” [5] And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” I pray in your name Jesus, the one who bore it all, through whom I hope and long for the promise to come, Amen
