A Prayer for Friday, December 11, 2015

Watch (Pt. 5)

O God,

Show us how to watch for
the coming of your Son.

Help us to watch for his coming
to us from all directions.

Remind us to watch for
his coming from within us.

Never let us forget that he is already
in our hearts and that we need to
listen to him when he speaks to us.

Remind us to watch for
his coming from beyond us.

Never let us forget that he comes to us
in other people, in the situations we encounter,
and in whatever ways you choose to send him.

Remind us to watch for
his coming from behind us.

Never let us forget to learn from the past,
whether it is the long ago past that we read about
in our Bibles or the recent past of our own lives.

Remind us to watch for
his coming from before us.

Never let us forget that you are working
your purposes out and that in Christ all
things will be fulfilled and made new.

Help us to remember to watch
for the coming of your Son.

Help us never forget that he
comes from all directions.

Amen.
