Advent Prayer for Others: Shed Your Light

Here’s a framework for an advent prayer of intercession from The Deacon’s Bench website. It is inspired by Psalm 80.

Prayer for Advent
(inspired by Psalm 80)

Holy One, healer of the world,
shed your light upon this world.
Holy One, healer of brokenness,
make us bold to share your light with others.
Holy One, healer of the world, we offer our prayers:

(The leader or people may add particular intercessions or thanksgivings.)

Lead us to wholeness
and make us shine with your light of healing love.
