Lord, we give you thanks for sending your Son to be our strength and consolation.

Lord, we are awaiting expectantly for the Savior of the world, who will set us free and from all our fears and sins release us. Lord, it may seem like we have been waiting a long time, but we have been preparing for such a time as this, when the Savior of the world will make his appearance, set us free, and reign in us forever. Amen!
