3rd Sunday of Advent – Kept Waiting by Fear
O Lord, what am I waiting for?
Why am I afraid? I see my need
for
your strength in my weakness and my need to be filled with your
courage in
the midst of all my fears.
I long for an awakening, for a renewed trust,
and for patience in the
coming of the Lord.
