Daily Dose of God's Word For December 23

Memory Verse  “So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God." Luke 1:36 

Psalms 69:22-28; John 1:1-5; Isaiah 52:1-12

Loving God, you are our peace;

     prepare our hearts for your coming.

Forge the swords of bitterness into plows of blessing;

     till the soil of our souls for your springing forth in us.

Remove our heart’s defensive armor,

     clothe us in light alone,

     and pierce our wide-open hearts with your love.

By your Spirit in us, may we be at peace:

     awake, and ready to welcome your presence.

Amen.
