Praise the Lord everyone and happy advent season! This is the most wonderful time of the year for me, especially because everybody is celebrating; they seem to be so happy, hearts are light and everyone is looking forward to getting together with family and friends to celebrate our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Not everyone is focused on celebrating Him and His coming but they can't get away from it. It's everywhere. They're hearing about Him, seeing all the nativities displayed, listening and singing songs about His coming to earth and so we just love this time of year. The prayers I'm going to be praying this month and advent season are based on the Christmas story from the book of Luke.

Todays focus and meditative scripture for the week is Luke chapter 1, verses 1-25 then verses 57-79.

Lord we thank You for the promised gift, that is an eternal and every day gift, but that we especially take at this time of year to focus on. That gift is the person, our Lord Jesus, the Christ!

This is part 2 to Lord I Pray, aka The Lord's Prayer. We don't pray this prayer verbatim, but we pray it according to what's going on in our lives at the time and of course we let the Holy Spirit lead us. He knows exactly what and how we need to convey it to the Father. Open up your heart, listen and pray in the Spirit as we send our prayers up to God today.

Today I will be praying the Lord's Prayer. This is part 1. The Holy Spirit had me parked on, Thine kingdom come for a minute...or two. This is a model prayer. We all know about this prayer, the Lord's Prayer. Of course, when I say this prayer, I say it according to how the Holy Spirit leads me and according to whatever is going on in my life at the time; In our relationships, circumstances and situations the Holy Spirit prays through us to let the Father know what we need. So pray along with me as you listen. God bless.

This week we have one of my raw off the cuff prayers. I just pray about whatever comes to mind, no specific topic, but I still give it a title. Sometimes the prayers come out and lead into its own topic or sometimes I title it by one of the many things I say in the prayer. Either way, I hope you enjoy the prayer this week. So let's get started with "How Deep, How Wide and How High Can We Go In God?"

What is compassion really? Is it the same as sympathy or empathy; feeling sorry for a person? I believe it's all of those and more. Overall, it's a strong love that feels and acts in accordance with the sorrow, pain or suffering someone else is experiencing. Let's see and pray what the Word of God says about it. Moreover, how Jesus, Who is the Word of God expresses it towards us. Lord, give me a heart of compassion.

Let's Pray!

Give me a forgiving heart. That is our prayer today. It is a command from the Lord that we forgive one another. And I don't know about you, but I find myself having to do this over and over. Sometimes with the same people, family, church folk, friends etc. But as I grow and learn and my heart is being transformed and conformed to God's will so that I am becoming more like Him, I am gaining a divine and even practical understanding of why it is necessary. In short, we can't have a right relationship with God if we don't have one with the people we see face to face.
