O God,
You are always with me.
Show me you are here through the compassion and care of other people.
Show me you are here through the creativity and beauty of music.
Show me you are here through the vast variety of creation.
Show me you are here through the gifts you have given me.
Show me you are here through the ways justice is moving in the world.
Show me you are here through the laughter and love in my life.
Fill me with hope and anticipation in these long and deep nights.
As these weeks of Advent unfold, help me to know you are with me.
Amen.
