First Week of Advent: Saturday

Lord of Hope,
From out of the darkness
I sense a dim light ahead;
the light of your coming into the world.

I so long for the time
when you are no longer hidden from me
and my deepest desire is
to trust in your gentle voice I hear behind me,
guiding me along a path I do not know.

Help me to wait for the dawning of the dim light ahead,
with a brighter vision of healing and freedom.
