6 Prayers to Deepen Your Faith during Advent

A myriad of activities already vie for our time and attention during the Christmas season. Going to church, reading an Advent devotional, buying or making gifts, cooking, decorating, and much more. So why should we add another task to our endless list by specifically praying for spiritual growth during Advent? The discipline of prayer is certainly not confined to a specific time of year, nor is it a task to mark off on a list. To pray is to commune with the living God and listen to Him. We offer Him thanks and praise, as well as lift up others through requests and intercession. Prayer also changes our hearts. Seeking God’s will and praying for the strength to obey challenges us. The more we pray, the more we see how the Lord is working to grow us spiritually. If we want to make Jesus our priority during this season and deepen our faith, then praying is vital. Use the following six prayers to focus on key aspects of faith and inspire your own conversations with the Lord. May the prayers challenge, encourage, and bring you closer to the Lord this Advent.
