Bishop Says!
Dec 3
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.
Dec 1
Lord, illuminate my path today. Help me choose kindness over conflict, peace over rushing, and truth over distraction. Give me the desire to live visibly for You, so that others may see Your light reflected in my actions.

Watchful God, awaken my soul to the wonder of Your coming. Help me "stay awake" and be ready for Christ's presence in the unexpected moments of this day. Turn my anxiety into anticipation, and my passive waiting into active preparation.
Nov 29
Lord, as one liturgical year closes and Advent approaches, prepare me for a season of intentional waiting. Help me look ahead with profound hope, trusting that You are always coming near, transforming the world, and transforming me.
