Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, born in pain, struggling towards life, fighting for breath; born in shame, born to the threat of Herods sword; fleeing to another country, another home; wrapped in a young girl(s love, placed in a borrowed bed; We pray for those we know and love; for all who suffer pain of body or anguish of mind; for all who struggle to live, to live well, to live better; for all who burn with shame, for all who face threat and danger, We pray to you, O God: Hear our prayer. We pray for war ravaged countries and refugees; for the starving poor; for battered wives and abused children; for the homeless, for the mentally ill; for those who struggle with disability. Strengthen us to work for peace on the earth and peace with the earth. We pray to you, O God: Hear our prayer. We pray for the Church, especially the local churches where we live. Keep us faithful that we may bear faithful witness in word and work to your presence among us. We pray to you, O God: Hear our prayer. We pray for all who are alone. May our love reach out to the lonely and broken hearted, the bereaved, and all for whom life has become something to be endured. May we open our minds, hearts and homes to those around us. We pray to you, O God: Hear our prayer. And we pray for our own needs: seeking the grace of your presence, firming our resolve to behave as we believe; seeking your courage to reconcile, heal and make new; seeking a sure vision of your coming kingdom. We pray to you, O God: Hear our prayer. Grant, O Lord Jesus, that the ears which have heard the voice of your songs may be closed to the voice of dispute; that the eyes which have seen your great love may also behold your blessed hope; that the tongues which have sung your praise may speak the truth in love; that the feet which have walked in your courts may walk in the region of light; and that the bodies which have received you may be restored in newness of life. Glory to you for your inexpressible gift. Amen.
