Here is a prayer of confession and petition for Advent 3 A. It
was written by Ann Siddall, and was posted on the Stillpoint Spirituality Centre and Faith Community website. The
congregational response comes from Psalm 80:3.
Advent
Prayer
In a few days’ time
we will be
celebrating
the birth of Christ,
so let us restore our
souls,
and refresh our
spirits.
Restore us, O God,
let your face shine
that we may be saved. Amen.
Though we are
complicit
in the frenzy of
consumerism,
the unreality of
expectations,
the tension of gift
giving,
and the pressure to attend
gatherings:
Restore us, O God,
let your face shine
that we may be saved. Amen.
Though we would like
to be more
Christ-centred
in our daily lives,
we know we can turn
to God,
and be restored. So,
we ask:
Restore us, O God,
let your face shine
that we may be saved. Amen.
