Begin Advent

Father God, as I begin this Advent season with You, in anticipation of what You will bring into my life, help me to stay focused on You and on Your way for my life. Strengthen my will to love and serve You with my every thought, word, and deed. Enable me to live a holy and pleasing life for you so that the over abundance of love and obedience will shine. Empower me to minister and transform lives with You and for You.

Father God, this is all about You. Remind me of this truth with every breath that I take. May you receive the glory with my life and for my life.

Amen. Let it be. 

A Father

My Father, give me the wisdom to be the father that You have trusted me to be. Give me the patience to deal with my children in a way that shows love and teaches them patience. Give me the peace I need when life seems chaotic. Give me the understanding to teach them all that they need to know. Give me the actions to show them what is right and what is not. Give me the discernment I need to know when they are not following You. Give me the strength I need to discipline them in Your ways.And give me encouragement when I fail.

My Father, help me to be the Father that You have been to me.

Amen, let it be.
