Jesus,
Our friend and brother, teacher and Saviour
Because our world values strength and wealth and power
But you came to us as a vulnerable baby, holding nothing in your hands,
You continue to amaze us and we praise you.
Because the world is so troubled and we can feel frightened and angry
But your Spirit is a spirit of peace
You continue to amaze us and we give you thanks.
Because people around us let us down and we find ourselves alone
But you are always walking beside us
You continue to amaze us and we give you thanks.
Because we hurt other people and ourselves, and we bind ourselves up in
our own mess
But you came and keep coming to forgive us and heal us and set us free
You continue to amaze us and we give you thanks.
Because we want the world and our families and our lives to be full of
the joy and
Love and peace that we talk about as we prepare for Christmas
And you share this desire with us
And because you continue to challenge us and inspire us and encourage
us
We praise you and thank you.
Amen.
