An Advent Prayer
May this holy Advent Season
bring joy to your heart
a joy the world
cannot give;
A joy to uplift you
when your spirit
feels low;
A joy to refresh you
when your life
feels weary;
A joy to sustain you
when your days
Feel empty;
The joy of knowing
that the Lord is with you
this Christmas, & always.
Amen
