Reflection

“A voice proclaims: In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD! Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God!” –Isaiah 40:3

Prayer

Spirit of peace,

As we continue preparing for the coming of the Prince of Peace this Christmas, challenge us to make a highway for you through our own words and deeds. In the midst of a tumultuous world, may we embody your presence and stand up as agents of peace, even as we continue to pray the prayer that you taught us: that your kingdom of peace come, that your goodness and love might be done, here and now, on earth as it is in heaven. In the peace only you can provide, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Make a conscientious effort today to contribute to an atmosphere of peace in my home and in my workplace, and all the in-between places I encounter along the way.
