A Prayer for Advent

I attended the Liturgy of Peace last Thursday put on by Urban Skye in Denver. It was facilitated so well by Ellen Haroutunian. It had been a truly bizarre day for me, so this prayer that we read made all the more sense in an odd kind of way.
Lord of the watching ones,
Overwhelm our fear,
that we might learn to trust one another.
Lord o the watching ones, the waiting ones,
Overwhelm our insecurities that we might seek the flourishing of all people.
Lord of the watching ones, the waiting ones,
the slow and suffering ones.
Overwhelm our loneliness so we might dare to reach out in love.
