Advent Go Forth Prayer Oh God as we rejoice, let us remember your promise. Christ, our light and hope will come. We think about the stable in Bethlehem, filled with God’s creatures, waiting for the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We think about our advent wreath and our candle, bringing new life and renewed light. May the blessings of Christ come upon us, brightening our way and guiding us by his truth. May Christ our Saviour bring light into the darkness of our world and to each of us, as we wait for His coming. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN
