On this Second Sunday of Advent we are in a season of new beginnings.
We may hear but not respond to the message God gives us. Too often grief, self-doubt and regret restrain us and hold us back. We cannot face these challenges alone, and like the psalmist we call upon God for help. God does not hold our past losses and trouble against us. God is a trustworthy and ever present Companion along the paths of our lives. Through God’s salvation we will ultimately triumph over all of our troubles. This is Good News!
Guide us dear Lord through our time and challenges as the New Year comes upon us, that we might not be held back by past regrets and grief; but move forward into your light and love.
