God Is My Righteousness

Listen Now 

Opening Prayer

People of God, prepare: God comes soon to the world he has made. Children of God, rejoice: Emmanuel is coming.

Scripture

For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. -Galatians 5:5

Reflection

Holy Spirit, kindle the flame of our faith. Grow in us patience. Cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armor of light.

Prayer

Lord, guide us with your love to be sensitive to your spirit leading us towards righteousness.

Help us to have a healthy perspective and a heart-set that recognizes the freedom we have in you.

Thank you for that freedom.

Let redemption and the love you have shown us be what motivates us to pursue your truth, serve you for your glory, and wait with expectation for the hope that you have given us through Christ Jesus.

We praise you for your love that grounds us in your ways and shifts the weight of this life back on to you.

Closing Prayer

Behold we are the servants of the Lord. Let it be to us according to your word. May we rest in the peace that the darkness can never extinguish the light that has been given to us.
