So we pray " that what our sins impede, the grace of your mercy may hasten through our Lord Jesus Christ." In this Advent season we cry out to our Father, we show him our weakness, but we trust in his power and goodness.

Your mercy wants to recreate me, turn me around, and draw me toward the fullness of my personal destiny in Christ - that adopted sonship that you have fashioned for me in your wisdom and love. 8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
