Prayer for the day:

God, I pray that in my waiting I would grow in my faith, hope, and most importantly love.

 

 

Background:

There were many faithful Jews at the time. Simeon was a prophet, a celebrated teacher, who was waiting for God’s Savior to be born. Imagine how Jesus’s parents felt hearing these words spoken over their newborn son.

 

Read

Luke 2:25-35

 

 

Ask Yourself:

Has waiting dulled or sharpened your focus on God?

Where is God in your waiting?
