Bishop Says!
Dec 14
Joyful God, fill me with the gladness of this season. Help me to be patient in suffering and persistent in prayer, knowing that You are near. Open my eyes to the desert places in my life that are blooming with Your promise.
Dec 13
Lord, fill this day with a sense of rising joy. Help me cast aside my worries, knowing that Your grace is sufficient. May my heart overflow with joyful anticipation for the feast of Christ’s birth.
Dec 12
Lord, clear my vision so I can see Your presence at work in my routine. Help me look beyond surface appearances and truly recognize the majesty of Christ in the seemingly small or humble parts of my life.
Dec 11
God of Comfort, when I feel lost or lonely, speak words of assurance to my heart. Help me to hear Your voice, calling me out of self-pity and into the expectant hope of this season. Sustain me in my personal wilderness.
Dec 10
Holy Spirit, grant me the wisdom and understanding described in Isaiah. Help me make decisions that are guided by justice and knowledge of Your will. Let the fear of the Lord lead me to true reverence, not anxiety.
