We were blessed to have Bishop Erik Gronberg preach at St. Luke's last Sunday! This week, I am posting an Advent prayer I wrote during my morning devotions.
Come to me quickly, Lord Christ
brush by with heavenly wings
Raise me high
to see a larger vision of you
Scrape away the residue of days past
of failings and resentments
of words left unsaid and work unfinished
Sweep me into a new day, a new moment
attentive to you
Stir up, shake up, and raise up my soul
center me in your heart
Give me holy perception
watching your movement
Hold me aloft in your grace
that I may surrender to love
and join you in shining light
Come to me quickly, Lord Christ.
Amen.
