A Prayer for Advent

 Dearest Lord Jesus,

I thank you for being my Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. As my family enters the Christmas season, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness. As You sent Your messengers the prophets to prepare the way of salvation, may we prepare traditions that nurture our spiritual lives and celebrate the dawning of Your everlasting light. In Your name I pray.

-original prayer from Christ in Christmas A Family Advent Celebration

Isaiah 9:2-6

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned….For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
