Advent Litany – Week 2
Reader: Let us pray together:
All: In a world where so many have lost hope, we call upon you, God of Hope, to come. We pray for the hope that is in Christ to enter our lives in a new way. May we always be the hope that is alive in our world. Amen.
Opening Hymn Hymn 96 On Jordan’s Bank the Baptist’s Cry
Prayer of Confession
All: Gracious Creator, we seek your blessing, knowing that we have not earned it. In our faults, we still seek your wholeness. In our sin, we seek your forgiveness. In our weakness, we seek your strength. In our sorrow, we seek your consolation. In our trials, we seek your justice. In our pain, we seek your peace. Hear our prayers, holy and merciful God, and make our hearts new.
