Lord Jesus - you are of the tree of Jesse
Christ Jesus - you are the morning star.
Lord Jesus - you are Emanuel, God with us.
As we approach the day of our savior's birth, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father with great joy;
1. For justice in our world: that we may strive to fulfill our duties to others and use our gifts and our faith to reach out to our brothers and sisters
2. For the healing of our communities: that God will heal and comfort those who have experienced violence, free their hearts from fear, and help us to comfort and support them.
3. For safety for all who are traveling during this Christmas holiday season.
4. For the Gospel of life - that all of us with treat others with dignity and respect and withhold the values of the Gospel of Life in our words and our actions.
5. For our children and youth: that God will accompany them during their time of Christmas vacation.
6. For the protection of earth's resources: that God will give wisdom and understanding to our role as steward of God’s creation.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
With Advent joy and hope, we present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
