Luke 2:22-38

Contemplation

What about my life reveals faith and hope in the Lord Jesus and in his return? Is there anything that reveals a lack of hope? Take a moment to talk to God about that anger, frustration or despair? With the help of the Holy Spirit, how might I create pathways toward new growth?

Conversation

God, there is much about our world that causes me to lose hope. Help me, Holy Spirit, to find connection, restoration and truth as I seek you. Keep me in the love of Christ as I wait for your mercy.
