SIA: Second Friday of Advent

Today's Advent theme for the Second Friday of Advent to ponder is:

I, the Lord, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you on the way you should go.

So how might we create a Spirituality in Action (SIA) for today from this theme?

My suggestions are as follows:

• Doubt, anxiety, and loneliness can crowd our hearts. Let us take some time to list them and then ask God to erase them and reassure us of the season's joy. 
• Pray for those who suffer alone that they may be given the support they need and be healed.
• Reflect on the times we have prayed for something incessantly and did not get it, and later received something so much better for our good. Let us thank God for knowing what is best for us.
• Pray for those who do not have a direction in life at this time, that God will lead them on the way they should go.

God loves us and always gives what is best for us in every circumstance. Let us ask the Lord to teach us today what is for our good and lead us on the way we should go.
