Devotional for December 3

silently and gently
falling and failing
changing and resting
seeking you, Lord…

we watch...
we wait...
we dream...
we pray…

for the earth to renew
for our hearts to soften
for your grace to cover us
for your justice to pour out
for time and space to listen
for courage to act

on the edge of Advent,
we sit with you…
we pause…
we hurt…
we repent…
we rage…

when will it be?

will it ever be?

come quickly, Lord Jesus.

Amen.
