Micah 5:2-4
Francis Schaeffer

Father – thank you for knowing our greatest need: You.  To be saved from our deep abiding sin and know you personally.  You are the best gift.  Thank you for sending Jesus to earth to make you known and make the path to you available to us.  Jesus was a babe and a King.  And He is coming again.  Amen

Day 5 of Advent

Isaiah 11:1-10
Andrew Davis Exalting Jesus in Isaiah

Father – Thank you for sending Jesus who is full of wisdom when we don’t know what to do.  Thank you that he, being fully man, rightly feared you…we are often so not filled with the fear of the Lord but the fear of everything else.  Thank you for these prophecies that we can turn to.  Knowing that you are so good at fulfilling all of your promises.  And they are all fulfilled in Jesus – who is the yes and amen of God.  Amen.

Jeremiah 31:-31-34
Paul Tripp Come Let Us Adore Him

Father – Thank you for writing a grand story that ends with your people being reunited with you in a new heavens and a new earth – supplied only by the blood of Jesus on a cross and the empty tomb.  Today, we celebrate the incarnation of the dear Son of God into our world of yuck and hurt and pain and suffering.  Thank you for Jesus – Amen

Psalm 13
The Good News We Almost Forgot

Father – You never leave us – thank you.  Even in our times of suffering and insecurities and difficulties and the darkness of the moments when you seem so distant – we trust you.  Help our unbelief and secure our faith in dark times.  Secure in you – not our overwhelming situations.  Because of Jesus  - Amen

Genesis 3
Nancy Guthrie The Promised One

Father – Thank you for creating us in your image and blessing us.  You are so good in that act.  We ask even now for forgiveness for the ways we have been intentional in going against your ways.  Even as Adam and Eve questioned your Word and doubted your goodness, we do the same.  May we even now abandon our ways of  hopelessness and idolatry and cling to Christ, our only hope.  In Jesus – Amen.

This is the season of Advent.  Each day of Advent I will bring you Scripture, a quote, and a prayer.  I pray that they will meet you where you are and point you to the Savior.

John 1:1-5
CS Lewis Narnia

Father – we thank you that you are a gracious Daddy even in the middle of our darkest night. You are the good and giving God.  You have given us most of all your Son Jesus.  As we anticipate his coming, may we sit in your presence, in the darkness around us, looking forward to the light that will come to light up our tiny corners of the world that you created.  Meet us here – we pray – Amen.

Do you ever find those books that you can just re-read all the time?  Melanie Jeschke has written those books for me. The Oxford Chronicles are some of my favorites.  We talk about her favorite Lewis books and being a grandma and writing and other creative habits.
