Blessed is this day, O Lord, and blessed are you for your love and Grace! As we live through this season of Christmas, help us to remember each day to sing to you, and to open our hearts so you so that you might make them whole. Help us remember the many who have no hope, and are in great need. Guide us that we will be your Christmas people every day, forgiving as we are forgiven, renewing as we are renewed. We lay our sins before you, and gather the hurt of the world to our hearts. Forgive us, we pray, heal your broken world. we ask in Jesus' name, Amen. |
