Here’s an advent prayer inspired by Romans
13:11-14. It comes from Revised Common Lectionary Prayer, on the
Vanderbilt Divinity Library website.
Advent
Prayer
(inspired by Romans 13:11-14)
Unexpected God,
your advent alarms us.
Wake us from drowsy worship,
from the sleep that neglects love,
and the sedative of misdirected frenzy.
Awaken us now to your coming,
and bend our angers into your peace. Amen.
