“And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” -Luke 1:31-33
A Prayer for Standing on Tiptoe
On tiptoe we stand, Lord Jesus
eagerly awaiting
your full revelation
always expecting you
to come some more.
Our hands and hearts
are open to your grace.
Our lives still waiting for
the fullness of your presence.
We are those who have been promised
a Kingdom, and we can never forget
Yet we have a foot in both worlds
and so we stumble.
But still we stand
on tiptoe
Owning our kingdom-loving hearts
and our earth-eyes
We lean forward
and hope. -Marcina Wiederkehr, Seasons of Your Heart
Action: Stand on your tiptoes and ask God to come again.
Prayer: Gracious and loving God, we wait actively for you to come again. Give us eyes to see you and hands and feet to do your well. Amen.
