My hope for myself

My hope for myself
as we enter into Advent
that I would feel the light
that I would shun the darkness
that I would cleave to Christ
that I would reject the demons
all that pulls me into the pit
away from my Savior
all that seeks to destroy
to drag me into hell

My hope is for peace
and certainty of my path
that I might enjoy the season
and not feel stressed
that I would approach the manger
and travel the way of the cross
following my Savior
wherever He would lead me
listening to the Spirit
speaking inside of me
