Advent Day 29

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 24

 

PRAYER OF LOVE
Having joined us to Christ Jesus, you have sent your Spirit to dwell in us so that we may take your light and love into a dark, broken world in desperate need of you. We exalt your name by sharing your love with others until that day when you call us to eternal glory.
 
 
SCRIPTURE READING
Psalm 139:7–14
 
Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
 
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
