God misses nothing. He’s looking out for us. He’s listening to our prayers.
From 1 Peter 3:12: “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayer.”

Brother Lawrence Quote
You need not cry very loud; He is nearer to us than we think.
From James 1:5-6: “ If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.”
Brother Lawrence (1614-1691) lived in France where he served as a lay brother in a monastery in Paris. He is best remembered for his intimate relationship with God.
Hope’s Homecoming (First Sunday of Advent)
From Isaiah 9:2: “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined.”
Awaiting salvation
Praying for His coming
Lord, Savior, Prince of Peace
Crowning hope’s homecoming
Seeking mercy’s refuge
Praying for faith to speak
Rock built with God’s goodness
Boosting hope, small and weak
Sharing God’s depth of love
Praying for grace-filled news
His assurance sows trust
Walking in hope’s new shoes
Inviting our wonder
Praying hearts, blessed with praise
Darkness fades, peace arrives
Lighting hope’s steadfast blaze
One of Advent’s most enduring hymns is “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.” The original text was composed in Latin during the 12th century. In 1861, English priest and scholar John Mason Neale translated the lyrics into what many Christians recognize and sing today.

Monday Memories: Daily Prayer
Dear Lord
Make me a man
Of fervent prayer
God’s Holy Word
Commands me to pray
Without ceasing
Encourage me
To bring everything
To you my Lord

When joyful
Let me offer
Prayers of thanksgiving
In all things
Great and small
At all times
Whether happy or sad
Let me seek
Your wisdom and grace
Amen
Today, may God bring you the courage to ask him for guidance. Ask Him to lead you to a “right” place.

From Malachi 4:2-3: “But for you who revere My name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.”
