Advent begins at sundown today

    so let's begin with this great tune

        and then Pause for Prayer...

In the crazy rush of Christmas all around, Lord, 

    help me prepare a way for you...     

 

Help me remember that Christmas is your birthday, 

    that I need to find gifts to offer to you...     

 

Help me remember the poverty of your birth:  

    plunder my heart and my wallet, Lord, 

    and help me spend generously 

    on those whose needs are far greater than mine..       

 

Help me see that of all the gifts I may receive, 

    none will surpass 

        the gifts of your mercy, forgiveness and pardon...  

 

Help me prepare a way for you 

    to enter my life decisively: 

a way for you to take me as your own, set your seal on my heart 

        and summon from my depths all you made me to be...      

 

Help me prepare the way for you  

    to take possession of my desires;

fill me with the gifts I truly need, 

    and bring to completion the work you began in me...     

 

Help me clear and prepare a path so you

    can invade and capture my mind and heart

and clear that path of the road blocks, Lord,

    that clutter and slow my way to you...

 

 Lord, help me prepare a way for you

    and prepare my heart for the many ways 

        you choose and seek to enter my life...

Amen.
