Here’s a prayer of praise and adoration for Advent
or Christmas. It was written by Bruce Prewer.
Prayer
And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11:2
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11:2
Lord Jesus, you come like
a genius far ahead of his time.
You come as a miracle,
not breaking the laws of nature
but fulfilling them.
You are
the future towards which the Spirit draws us,
the salvation
offered to all humanity,
the joy exceeding
all exciting pleasures,
the destiny which
was prepared for us
before the
foundation of the world.
You come as the humble
Perfection outside our grasp
yet graciously
within our reach.
You are the Beauty that
is to come;
the Beauty that
calls us into that most natural
of all miracles: the
ministry of love!
O God’s unique Genius, we
welcome you
as Saviour, Friend
and Lord.
Amen!
