God of hope, help me prepare the way for you in the wilderness of chaos. Give me strength, wisdom, and patience to clear a path for you through my cluttered heart and life. Amen.
Hope thrives in the wilderness.
I'm fascinated by life's ability to thrive in the midst of adversity. I took this photo several years ago in Colorado alongside a river. The fern grown in a dead tree reminded me that whether we're facing cancer or the wilderness of Advent, we seek life.
What is your wilderness?
The quote I picked for today is from one of The Upper Room's most popular books — Disciplines. This daily devotional book, published every year, is full of treasures. Fifty-three writers (leaders from throughout the Christian world) each take a week and write meditations based on the lectionary scriptures for that week.
I join many of those who will pray for you as you seek to discern what you are called to be at this moment. May God grant you the courage to fulfill that calling. May we all open our eyes and see the misery, open our ears and hear the cries of God’s people, and, like God through the Lord Jesus Christ, be incarnate amongst them.”
