Bishop Says!
Dec 6
Lord, I dedicate this day to preparing a space for You. Remove the spiritual clutter from my mind and schedule. Help me create moments of silence and reflection where I can truly welcome Your presence this Advent season.

God of Hope, lift my spirits and remind me of the joy that is coming. When shadows of doubt appear, grant me a glimpse of the great light promised in the birth of Christ. Let my anticipation inspire my actions today.

Lord Jesus, I confess that I often look for You in grand displays of power. Help me recognize Your quiet arrival in the marginalized, the poor, and the simple moments of life. Open my heart to Your unexpected grace.

Heavenly Father, grant me the gift of patience during this busy season. Help me wait for Your perfect timing in difficult situations, refusing to rush ahead of Your will. Let the discipline of waiting deepen my trust in You.

God of Peace, help me turn my internal "swords" of bitterness and critique into "plowshares" of constructive work and love. Inspire me to be an agent of reconciliation, embracing the slow, patient work of building Your kingdom on earth.
