In this time of Advent we hear of readings which talk about preparing the way of the Lord. Jesus has come and left us the way to Heaven, it is up to follow it and prepare our hearts for when He will come again.

Jesus encourages us to pray for strength. What does that mean, how does that fit with other scripture, how can we pray for strength in our lives? As we enter into Advent, God wants to give us strength and other gifts of the Holy Spirit so we can persevere towards the narrow door of Heaven.
