Gracious God,
We are filled with anticipation at the promise of your arrival.
Prepare us to receive you.
Straighten out our words and smooth over our rough edges;
Purify our hearts and refine our lives,
That we may be ready for the transformation you will bring
To us, and to the world.
Awaken us to your presence,
That we may hear your Word anew.
Fill us up that we might overflow with knowledge, insight, compassion,
and, above all, with love for you and for our neighbors,
According to the example of Christ. Amen.
