Praying through Christmas
- As we celebrate Christmas together with family and friends this week, praise God for the gift he has given us in his Son. Give thanks for the kingdom he ushered in – a kingdom of hope, of joy, of possibility, of justice, and of love. Pray that he will show each of us how we can live lives which reflect his love and compassion.
- Pray for those for whom Christmas is a difficult time – for those who are sick, or have been bereaved, for those who are lonely, or far away from family and friends. Pray that they will experience God’s presence, comfort and love. Give thanks for pastoral workers, chaplains and others who seek to draw alongside and offer support to those in need. Pray that they will know God’s wisdom and guidance in the conversations they have and the situations they encounter, and that they (and we) will find opportunity to share the Bible’s life words to those in need.
