Advent Breath Prayer: Dec 22
For nothing will be impossible with God. - Luke 1:37
Inhale: "God's"
Exhale: "Possibility"
Breathe in and breathe out God's Word throughout the day in short pauses.
When Gabriel shared the news with Mary that she would bear the Holy Child, I can imagine her emotions were like a roller coaster. She was a young teenage girl and not married. She even questioned Gabriel on how this could be true. His words continue to ring with God's power today: For nothing will be impossible with God.
You may be on your own roller coaster of emotions today regarding news that you are carrying. Many of us are rushing up and down and all around in the busyness of the Christmas preparations. Maybe you are taking one step at a time to walk in God's faithfulness as God leads you through uncertainty. Perhaps life has changed at a moment's notice and you are waiting to sense God's calm presence and direction in the chaos of life.
Listen for the still small voice of God. Lift your questions, confusion, doubt, and pain to God. As you pray trust that nothing is impossible for God. Faith breaks the logic of rational possibility for God came down to live in the thin skin of humanity as a vulnerable Child. This Holy Child delivers humanity into the possibility of God's hope, peace, joy, and love. God is with us on the roller coaster of life and is working to bring us home for we belong to a God who will never leave us or forsake us.
Dear God, thank you for the mystery of your presence and love. Speak into my questions and help me to see your possibility through Jesus Christ. Amen.
