Praying Through Advent: Strength in the Waiting

DECEMBER 13, Strength in the Waiting

Adoration & Worship
We have heard and have come to know that you are the Everlasting God, Everlasting Father is your name, and you are the creator of the earth. You do not grow weary. So, we wait for you, LORD. Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 40:28

Repentance & Confession
Forgive me, Lord, for allowing my heart, soul, mind, and strength to become drowsy. I want to tarry with you in this hour. My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. Teach me to watch and pray so temptation has no place in me. Mark 14:37

Petition (asking for personal needs)
I’m exhausted, LORD. But you give power to the faint and strength to those who have no might. Strength rises as I wait on you — to soar, to run. I need you! Isaiah 40:29-31

Intercession (praying for others)
For my brothers and sisters in Christ, that we would run the race you’ve set before us, looking to you, waiting on you. We can do all things, whether in plenty or in hunger, abundance or in need, through you, Jesus, who strengthens us. Philippians 4:12-13, Hebrews 12:1

Thanksgiving
Thank you, Lord, for coming as the Redeemer, for letting us experience redemption. We wait for you, night and day, like Simeon and Anna, to see you come again as King of Kings. Holy Spirit, open our eyes to see the glory of the Lord that is being prepared for us, that will rise on us. Luke 2:25:38
