Christmas Eve 2010

God, on this Christmas Eve, we bring our prayers before You with a hope that is perhaps more fervent than any other time of the year. Speak into these prayers Your presence, for in the one Incarnation on Christmas morn You opened the door to countless demonstrations of Your incarnational love. Hear us now, God-with-us:

For ----------- & ------------ & -------------. That you may hold them & their grief & pain. May your presence be known & powerful.

Lord I ask of you that you come to us and show us the way of your Love. Teach us Lord on the eve of your birth The Way to Love our neighbor as our families Lord I ask for your blessings in my business that I may help people

Amen

Please pray for those who don’t know Christ and don’t know the reason for the season. That Christ may be real to them.
