“The value of persistent prayer is not that God will hear us, but that we will finally hear God."
The candle for the third week of Advent signifies JOY. As you light the first and second purple candle, and the rose candle on your own Advent wreath, reflect on the words from the Gospel of Luke 2:20.
“And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them." —Luke 2:20
Prayer: Dear Jesus, help us focus on you during this busy season. May we stay aware of the joy you bring into our lives. We want to find you in the everyday moments and come with hearts of gratitude to your manger on Christmas. Amen.
