Lord Jesus,
In a weary world, You are the Light that never fades. You are faithful and near. Thank You for being our Hope. As we enter this Advent season, steady our hearts, quiet our minds, and remind us again that You are Immanuel—God with us.
We pray for anyone here who feels far from You—anyone who has never trusted You as Savior, or who wants to come home to You today. May they call out to You and receive You. Fill us now with Your hope, Your peace, and Your presence.
In Your name we pray, Amen.
