Collect: El Shaddai, when you sent your angel Gabriel to Miriam, she accepted your message, and put her faith in you to complete your word in her, that The Word, Yeshua would be born into the world. Aid us, that our faith would be equal to hers, trusting you for defense, and trusting that you would complete your word in us today. This we ask through your son, Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God, in shekina glory everlasting. Amen.
13 December: El Shaddai, you are our loving, merciful God, when we contemplate the debt of your mercy, we are at a loss to know how you could love us so. Thank you for your grace and mercy. May we use our new found freedom in HaMoshiach to forgive someone who has wronged us. This we ask in the name of Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and governs with you in Shekina glory everlasting. Amen.
14 December: El Shadai, Gracious God, your servant, St. John of the Cross learned to love you through suffering. Raise up in this and every generation, people of valour, willing to give their all for you, who will stand up for the truth, and proclaim through poetry, speech and deed your eternal love for us. This we ask through Yeshua, who lives and reigns with you in Shekina glory everlasting. Amen.
15 December: El Shadai , our God, how comforting it is to be reminded that however much we falter and stray from you, you will keep reaching out for us. We thank you this day for being there to catch us when we fall from faith. Thank you for your love. Amen.
16 December: El Shadai, we live in a materialistic world where values are often misplaced. We have had many catastrophes in our recent past in which the possessions we work so hard to accumulate vanish in a moment. Help us to set our minds on things eternal rather than things which are transitory. This we ask in the name of Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and governs with you in Shekina glory everlasting. Amen.
17 December: El Shadai, give us a faith like that of your servant, Daniel. He was not afraid to go into the lion's den or stand inside the burning fiery furnace. You delivered him! You upheld your faithful servant. Give us that kind of faith and take away our unbelief! This we ask through Yeshua haMoshiach who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen. (white)
18 December: El Shadai, you suffered so much for our salvation. We may endure weeping for a night but through the manifold grace of our God, joy comes in the morning. Thank you for the mornings, which usher in new hope enabling us to go on another day. This we ask in the name of Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and governs with you in Shekina glory everlasting. Amen.
