Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 12/22

Image by Web410

Because I'm often foolish, Lord,
please be generous with your wisdom - 
I need it!

In these short, dark December days
let your light shine upon my path
so I might follow where you lead me,
especially when I'm not sure of where I've been,
where I am
or where I'm going...

May your wisdom bring
order to my chaos,
faith to bear on all my doubts, 
common sense to sort out my confusion,
truth to enlighten my choices,
reason to course-correct my foolish ways

and hope to help me see beyond this day
to all tomorrow offers...

Be my wisdom, Lord:
shape my mind with your counsel,
bless my imagination with insight,
fill my thoughts with knowledge of your ways,
and give strength to my heart's convictions...

Let your wisdom be my guide and my companion, Lord,
a star to lead me to the truth
in this holy Advent time,
as Christmas day draws near
and in all the seasons of my life...

Amen.
