Here’s a prayer of confession for the season of
Advent. It was written by Bruce Prewer.
Prayer
of Confession for Advent
(inspired by John 1: 10-11, Romans 13:11-14)
How
many times, Lord Jesus,
have you
come to us unwelcomed?
How
often have you
visited yet
we have been too busy to notice,
spoken yet
we have been too full of ourselves,
Change
all our insensitive habits
and help
us to do better during this Advent.
Make
us so sensitive to your immediate comings
in the
ups and downs of each ordinary day
that we
shall be well prepared
to welcome
your Final Coming
as a
consummation of love and joy.
For
your love’s sake.
Amen!
