Devotions for week of Dec. 6

Posted on Sat, Dec 5, 2015:

Begin by reading the invocation. Read the assigned Psalm for the week once or twice and take a few moments to center yourself on God, relaxing and paying close attention to your breathing. Pray for yourself and others, allowing time for God to place others in your thoughts. Read the day's assigned Scripture slowly and reflectively, perhaps more than once, taking time to allow thoughts and images to form in your mind. Reflect on the Scripture, perhaps writing in your journal. Close with the benediction.

Invocation: Gracious God, who sent your own Son to prepare the way for our salvations, give us the gracde to heed his word and accept his forgiveness of our many sins. In the name of Jesus Christ who lives with you and with us. Amen.
