FAM Prayer – Christmas Appeal themed
Lord, during this wonderful time we pause to remember the needy people of this world whom Jesus came to save. May the light of his star touch every dark place, Lord.
As we meet in fellowship and goodwill, we pray for the end of war and terrorism in your torn world, especially in the most recent plights of Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan, Ethiopia, Myanmar and others. Bring them your compassion 'and justice, Lord.
As we enjoy being relaxed and happy, we remember the sick, the lonely, the frightened, the anxious and the sorrowing: Bring them your comfort and peace, Lord.
As we pass other churches and places of worship, we remember other Christian denominations and faith traditions. Fill us with Christmas joy and generosity to reach out and connect with love, Lord.
O Jess, the Word made flesh, give us the will and capacity to embody our prayers in compassionate and courageous deeds: Fill us with the joy of service.
Amen.
