Happy Third Week of Advent,
As we enter single digits in our Christmas countdown, here's a prayer this week from The Divine Hours by Phyllis Tickle,
"Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honour and glory now and for ever. Amen."

"How do we keep our eyes set on Jesus when dark clouds seem to hide his face? I think of Mary, the mother of our Savior, and the example she left us."

"Momma, if you have felt God to be distant or silent, you are in good company. If you have looked out at the world and felt the chill and the dark pressing in, you are not alone. If you have longed to experience His presence and comfort, God’s people know your pain."
